Recent projections from the European Commission (2012), however, point to eldercare costs doubling - and possibly tripling - by 2060 in the EU area as populations age. The increase will exceed 3 percentage points of GDP in Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands. The OECD 2011 report Help Wanted? Providing and Paying for Long-Term Care shows that the costs associated with low care needs (i.e. ten hours per week) may rise to very high levels at old ages (65 and over) and account for more than 60% of a senior’s available income up to the fourth decile (Figure 2.27).
