      <subfield code="a">As the risks associated with aging start to materialize, societies become more aware of the financial consequences of long-term care (LTC). While limited coverage is available through social insurance in many countries, attractive offers of private products barely exist and a lack of knowledge about LTC insurance persists. Based on a novel survey on aging, health, and dependence conducted in Switzerland, this study aims to comprehend the key drivers that make individuals interested in buying care insurance products for themselves. Using models that combine features from both classical statistics and machine learning techniques, we depict the characteristics of potential buyers based on key economic, social, demographic, and political factors. We find that factors relating to the awareness and understanding of LTC are extremely relevant. Self-perceived health, behavior, and trust relationships between customers and insurers are important. Socioeconomic factors only play a secondary role in the decision-making process. Our findings are relevant beyond the academic community and for policymakers and private insurers alike.
