Ett halvt århundrade svensk äldreomsorg– var står stat och familj?
Den svenska offentliga äldreomsorgen växte starkt från 1950-talet, och nådde sin högsta nivå på 1980-talet, för att därefter minska under 2000-talet. Med hjälp av riksrepresentativa befolkningsundersökningar från 1954 och fram till 2009 studerar vi mönster i äldres hjälpbehov och insatser från familj och offentlig omsorg. Ansvarsförhållandet mellan stat och familj har skiftat över tid, men omsorg från anhöriga och det offentliga överlappar allt m…
Integrated care of older people
Informal Caregiving for Elders in Sweden
In Sweden, care of elderly people is a public responsibility. There are comprehensive public policies and programs providing health care, social services, pensions, and other forms of social insurance. Even so, families are still the major providers of care for older people. In the 1990s, the family was "rediscovered" regarding eldercare in Sweden. New policies and legislative changes were promoted to support family caregivers. The development of…
Balancing family and state care
Old-age care has frequently been conceptualised as being either family-based or publicly-provided. This article analyses the overlap in provision from the two sources and their relationship in the Swedish welfare state. Many older people and their carers rely on both sources of help rather than on just one, and prefer to do so. The empirical evidence on patterns of care in Sweden supports a joint family-state conceptualisation of care. Its realis…
State provision down, offspring's up
Substitution among the providers of old-age care has usually meant a process whereby the state ‘takes over’ what families used to do, but during the 1980s and 1990s, both home help and institutional care were cut back substantially in Sweden as elsewhere. Comparable, nationally representative surveys in Sweden of the provision of care for older people living in the community enable analysis of the effects of these cutbacks on the sources and patt…

Promoting home-based elder care
Informal Care of Dependent Elderly at Home — Some Swedish Experiences
This study is an attempt to explore the dynamics in a group of family caregivers in a small rural setting in Sweden. Thirty-nine caregivers giving extensive help to elderly family members, who were all on the verge of institutionalisation, were interviewed. The results showed that the motives of caring were usually based on feelings of reciprocity and that the perceived burden of care was related to the proximity of the carer to the person cared …
Elderly People in Sweden
The Swedish population is one of the oldest in the world with the consequence that the country has a very high proportion of long-term institutional beds to meet the care needs of elderly people. Studies of the pathways to institutional care showed that alternative home care options had been given too little consideration and that a quarter of residents could have been satisfactorily supported in the community. The Sundsvall Intervention Programm…
