What public policies for dependency?

Summary The number of people over 60 in a situation of dependence varies from 1.24 million if we refer to the number of beneficiaries of the Allocation personnalisée d'autonomie (personalized autonomy allowance), to nearly 3.3 million according to an epidemiological measure. The cost of dependency for care, accommodation and informal assistance is between 41 and 45 billion euros per year, of which 23.5 billion, or a little more than one point of GDP, is public expenditure. The latter is expected to increase by 0.3 to 0.7 GDP points by 2040, taking into account demographic and epidemiological projections.
