Nature and type of public intervention<\/strong><\/td>\nDepending of their level of dependency, individuals may benefit from various in-kind benefits and services. If the competent administrations are unable to offer these services, the dependent person is entitled to receive financial benefits to access care services, to hire personal caregivers or to compensate informal caregivers (i.e. non-professional carers).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Type of employment relations<\/strong><\/td>\nWorkers can either be employed by private provider (i.e. triangular relationship) or directly by the user (i.e. direct employment relationship).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The administrative framework and the role of the public authority<\/strong><\/td>\nAutonomous communities are responsible for organizing the provision of services as well as controlling and monitoring the delivery.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Creation and\/or fostering of PHS activities<\/strong><\/td>\nOverall, between 2009 and 2012, the number of social workers for the elderly and disabled has increased by 48%.<\/p>\n

It has been estimated that the Dependency law would contribute to the creation of between 300 000 and 500 000 formal jobs \u2013 including the 115,000 existing informal carers of elderly people \u2013 by 2015. So far, the employment creation directly linked to the Dependency law has been estimated at 125 987 people in 2008.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Improving access to elderly care\/long term care<\/strong><\/td>\nBy 30 November 2014, there were 729 313 beneficiaries with effective benefits and 167 869 people currently waiting to receive benefits (a decrease of 45.13% compared to January 2012).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

In addition, regional authorities and local authorities funds the system up to respectively 30% and 50% of the total public funding.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
