From the American point of view Europe may look like a small homogeneous
continent with a very dense population and a luxury Welfare State.
However, talking about Europe is talking about diversity. Europe has an
enormous wealth in its diversity of cultures, histories and policy
approaches. More then any other continent, Europe is blessed with large
cultural, historical and political differences even within small
distances. Comparing countries and regions to simply observe how these
differences have shaped the behaviour of the European citizens is a
fascinating task. In this contribution I will try to show some of these
differences in ageing and family care for the elderly, it is talking
about the European mosaic in long-term care for older people.
A. Historical diversity and common background
B. Common changes in diverse contexts
