ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
Rapidly aging populations, with growing care dependency needs,increasingly require Long-Term Care (LTC). While some large urbansettings may suffer less from rapid aging, rural populations are rapidly aging,leaving tens of thousands of elderly people with little support from a smallpool of services, and little incentive for the private sector to innovate orsupply new services. These populations require quality, integrated services,across health and social care, to help with instrumental activities of dailyliving (IADLs) and activities of daily living (ADLs), as well as support forthe management of multi-morbidities. In the face of this challenge, there is anurgent need to assess the current status of LTC provision and also identifyways of delivering and financing services, as well as the governance andregulatory arrangements in the sector, even as families continue to be the mainprovider of LTC support to people as they age. This assignment aims to assessthe private-sector market for LTC in North Macedonia with the aim of identifying opportunities for andconstraints to expanding LTC across geographic areas and populations in theshort and medium term.
