Effet de l’aide informelle fournie par leurs enfants sur la santé des personnes âgées en maison de retraite
No full textInternational audienceThis paper estimates the causal effect of informal care provided by children on health outcomes for nursing home residents. We exploit the cross‑sectional French survey CARE‑Institutions (2016) providing a representative sample of 2,382 residents aged 60 or more, with children. Adverse health outcomes are depression, sleep disorders, poor appetite, and feelings of weariness. To deal with the endogeneity of informal care, we exploit an instrumental variable strategy where informal care receipt is instrumented by the gender composition of siblings. Informal care is found to have overall little effect on these health outcomes, and this is stable across gender and education level. These results are contrasting with those observed at home and call for further researches on the specific determinants of health and well‑being in nursing homes.Cet article estime l'effet causal de l'aide informelle fournie par leurs enfants sur la santé des résidents de maison de retraite. Nous exploitons l'enquête CARE-Institutions de 2016, qui fournit un échantillon représentatif de 2 382 résidents âgés de 60 ans ou plus et ayant des enfants. Les problèmes de santé étudiés sont la dépression, les problèmes de sommeil, le manque d'appétit et le sentiment de fatigue. Pour prendre en compte l'endogénéité du fait de recevoir de l'aide informelle, nous adoptons une stratégie de variable instrumentale, dans laquelle bénéficier d'une aide informelle est instrumenté par le fait d'avoir au moins une fille parmi ses enfants. Nous montrons que l'aide informelle a globalement peu d'effet sur ces problèmes de santé, quels que soient le sexe et le niveau d'études des personnes aidées. Ces résultats contrastent avec ceux estimés pour les personnes âgées vivant à leur domicile et appellent à d'autres recherches sur les déterminants spécifiques de la santé et du bien-être dans les maisons de retraite

Informal care at old age at home and in nursing homes: determinants and economic value
Get PDFThis paper provides a comprehensive analysis of informal care receipt by the French individuals aged 60 or older. The literature has focused on the community, leaving informal care in residential care settings in the shadow. We leverage data from a representative survey (CARE) conducted in 2015–2016 on both community-dwelling individuals and nursing home residents. Focusing on the 60+ with activity restrictions, we show that 76% of nursing home residents receive help with the activities of daily living from relatives, against 55% in the community. The number of hours conditional on receipt is yet 3.5 times higher in the community. Informal care represents 186 million hours per month and a value equivalent to 1.1% of GDP at least, care in the community representing 95% of the total. We investigate the determinants of informal care receipt. Using an Oaxaca-type approach, we disentangle between two mechanisms explaining that nursing home residents are more likely to receive informal care, namely the differences in population composition (endowments) and the differences in the association of individual characteristics with informal care (coefficients). Both are found to have a similar contribution. Our results imply that private costs make up for the majority (76%) of the costs associated with long-term care provision once informal care is taken into account. They also highlight that informal care is extremely common for nursing home residents. Existing evidence on the determinants of informal care receipt in the community has, however, limited relevance to understand informal care behaviors in nursing homes
Does an increase in formal care affect informal care ? Evidence among the French elderly
No full textThis paper investigates the causal impact of formal care use on informal care among formal care users. We propose an original instrument for formal care use, using local disparities in the price of formal care providers. Using the French survey CARE, we implement a two-part model to show the effect of formal care on the extensive and on the intensive margin of informal care. An exogenous increase in formal care is found to slightly decrease the probability to use informal care. Heterogeneity tests show this negative effect is mainly driven by caregiving for daily life activities, provided by women and secondary caregivers. At the intensive margin, however, informal care is not significantly affected by a formal care increase. Reforms extending the generosity of public policies for formal care use can thus be expected to have a limited effect on informal care use, concentrated on specific caregivers
