Abstract
As in other European countries, the issue of care poverty among older people is crucial in Italy. This research topic has been already investigated in the literature, by also considering the relation between care poverty and social inequalities. Against this background, this paper aims to further expand such debate by adopting an intersectional perspective. The study is focused on older people living at home in Italy. A quantitative analysis is performed to consider an empirical basis for the information collected within the European Health Interview Survey (2019, last wave available).
