The European Care Strategy’s official Monitoring Framework is out!

The European Commission recently announced to  the publication of the Monitoring Framework for the Council Recommendation on Access to Affordable High-Quality Long-Term Care.

Developed by the European Commission and the Indicators Sub-Group of the Social Protection Committee throughout 2023–2024, this framework turns principles into practice by translating the  Council recommendation’s key dimensions into measurable and actionable indicators.

The document contains:
1. a presentation of the conceptual framework;
2. a detailed presentation of the five dimensions of the framework, including relevant indicators and data, notably adequacy, availability, quality, workforce, and informal carers;
3. annexes:
• Annex 1: Key data sources;
• Annex 2: Indicator description tables;
• Annex 3: Data tables; and
• Annex 4: Country tables.

The monitoring framework on LTC will be used as reference for all policy processes, including the social Open Method of Coordination, the European Semester, future joint EC-SPC reports on pensions adequacy and LTC, and the EC report to the Council on the implementation of the 2022 LTC Recommendation in 2027.
