The increasing number of the oldest people increases the number of people who need Long-Term Care. Since the ability to provide such benefits by the household is smaller than in the past, and an increasing share of the elderly leads single households, health care and social assistance increasingly have to participate in the organization of proper care for these dependents. Currently, public funds spent for these benefits are false allocated and do not fulfill their assignments. The Long-Time Care Insurance should provide adequate coverage and service quality. The premiums for the insurance should be paid by everyone who receives incomes. Benefits may be awarded in the form of care for people in their homes or in institutions or in the form of allowances, from which the dependent can finance the help provided by the families and informal groups.

The author presents volunteering as a means of active ageing and as an original (not only residual) sector of society. She describes two complementary aspects of volunteering in an active ageing context: (1) volunteering of older people, and (2) volunteering for older people. Within both aspects, the positions of older people as the subjects and objects of voluntary work can change. The author defines the interconnectivity of both aspects as an “object-subject volunteering chain“ based on a life course perspective, particularly referring to volunteering in the long-term care sector. Based on a secondary analysis of available research findings and sources, she summarises some distinctive characteristics of older people operating in the voluntary long-term care sector. A discussion of findings follows, and finally, some recommendations for how to establish age-friendly public support for volunteering are given.
