Wives taking care of their poor husbands... ‘Family care’ has the highest utilization rate

An analysis by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs found that the use of the family care system was highest in cases where low-income elderly men were cared for by their wives. As a result of analyzing 973,384 people aged 65 or older who received the first long-term care recognition grade from 2008 to 2019 and began using home benefits, the proportion of family members using care increased from 4.7% in 2008 to 15.9% in 2019. The researchers pointed out that despite the goal of the system to reduce the burden of family care, which is disproportionate to women, economic difficulties are encouraging female spouses to take full responsibility for care.
