Delphine Roy is director of the “Health and Autonomy” program at the IPP since December 2019. She was previously in charge of studies on redistribution at INSEE, then head of the “Disability, Dependency” office at DREES. Her work focused on childcare, domestic work, home-based employment, and loss of autonomy.

Léa Toulemon joined the Institute of Public Policies (IPP) in October 2018, where she works on caregivers of dependent older adults: on the links between gender and caregiving within the couple and on the effect of caregiving on health. She is also interested in the working conditions of professional caregivers. During her thesis and postdoctoral studies (Sciences Po and the Hospinnomics Chair), she worked on the quality of employment, and on prices and reimbursement rates in the French health system.

Amélie Carrère is an economist at the Institute of Public Policies (IPP) since September 2020. She works on the loss of autonomy of the elderly and its management with a territorial approach. She wrote her doctoral thesis in economics on the “Dependency care of the elderly: an analysis of the determinants of institutionalization or home care” and worked at DREES, the statistical service of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, as the person in charge of the survey Capacités, Aides et REssources des seniors (CARE).
