Simulation tools
MicroWELT simulation software and parameterisation
The MicroWELT 2.0 LTC model is a new, improved and extended x-compatible re-implementation of the dynamic microsimulation platform microWELT currently being developed within the project. It focuses on projecting long-term care (LTC) demand in hours, care arrangements and care gaps.
It is used for a wide range of studies, including long-term care projections, labor force projections, the impact of education, health, and ethnicity on the future labor force, the economic integration of immigrants, the sustainability and adequacy of social security systems, and private and public social transfers (time and money) according to the National Transfer Accounting (NTA) framework.
MicroWELT 2.0 LTC is open source. It is fully documented and designed as a modular platform that can be refined and extended for diverse purposes. X-compatibility refers to the ability to compile the source code in two programming technologies, namely Modgen and its new open source successor openM++.
