<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This chapter examines the potential role of social protection systems to support responses to this rapidly emerging need in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), paying particular attention to long-term care provision. The first section explains what is meant by long-term care and describes the main features of the supply-side for long-term care in LMICs. The chapter goes on to examine social protection approaches to long-term care that are currently being implemented or are under discussion in LMICs. The final part of the chapter provides case studies of three different approaches in the Seychelles, Thailand, and Brazil.</jats:p>
