Abstract

How does Italian welfare help citizens face old age with adequate services and benefits? What does welfare offer for the non-self-sufficient elderly? This is the subject of this article, which describes the Italian welfare system for the non-self-sufficient elderly, looking at what is there but above all at what is lacking. And both public home services and residential services are lacking, or in any case insufficient, while the supply of private services is growing. This does not help families and does not protect the well-being and health of the elderly.

Keywords: welfare, ageing, not self-sufficient elderly, health, care.
