ABSTRACT
The article explores the determinants of long-term care financing in the selected countries
form Central and Eastern Europe. The article distinguishes two general mechanisms
of financing long-term care depending on the occurrence of a need of long-term care.
The ex ante mechanisms are applied prior to when the need of long-term care appears.
Conversely, the ex post mechanisms are subsequently used as a response to the needs of
long-term care. The following research question is posed in the article: whether ex ante
and ex post mechanism are complements or substitutes in two CEE countries: Poland and
the Czech Republic? The article concludes that ex post mechanisms are substitutes to ex
ante mainly due to the prevalence of private financing of long-term care.
