Abstract
Valuation of informal care In the Netherlands many people provide informal care because they regard it as a natural thing to do. This mutual support is so common that its economic value is often overlooked. Informal care represents however a large capital. The monetary value of informal care of adults who provide long term and intensive help is estimated at € 6.6 billion (2007). The informal care is not only valued according to the time spent on care, but also to how much informal carers would be willing to spend on an additional hour of care (€ 9,52 per hour). Our findings suggests that the valuation of informal care is a useful technique in estimating the possible costs and effects of new policy measures in long term care.
