Abstract
This paper analizes the cost-sharing of economic benefits created by the Spanish Law of Dependency from the point of view of regional equity. The Autonomous Communities have set up an increasing costsharing with recipient�s economic capacity, but there exist strong disparities in the amount of benefits received after cost-sharing, which increase with dependency degree or for lower income levels. Furthermore, the difference between maximum benefits among Comunities grows as the dependency degree decreses. As compared to French dependency system, the Spanish cost-sharing is less progressive although benefits received are smaller for lower income levels.
