  The COVID-19 pandemic is a wake-up call on the crisis in long-term care | UNECE

But behind these proximate causes, there are some fundamental structural issues which resulted in international failures in long-term care, including: low political priority for long-term care; fragmented systems with responsibilities split between different government departments and levels; failures in health/long-term care coordination; weak regulatory oversight; lack of recognition of human rights; and under-recognition of care staff and the role and needs of unpaid carers.  (...) This collective failure across the region reflects a number of systemic problems related to long-term care systems that have long been known but were not sufficiently addressed, and that the pandemic has brought painfully to attention. (...) Reforming long-term care systems to ensure ageing with dignity, and decent work for those involved in long-term care must be at the heart of these efforts.

Despite the ever increasing need for  long-term financing , especially for infrastructure, the long timeframe necessary for many types of investments is outside the investment parameters of most, even for those considered to be ‘long-term investors.’ (...) In most countries, bank lending has been the dominant form of financing long term investments in infrastructure, despite the asset-liability mismatch of short term bank deposits vis-à-vis infrastructure’s long-term capital requirements. (...) The diagnostic long-term financing report for the G20, a collaborative effort of the WB, IMF, BIS, OECD, UN and other agencies, pointed out that the availability of long-term financing has declined since the financial crisis.
