Distribución en España del cuidado formal e informal a las personas de 65 y más años en situación de dependencia
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: There has been a relative lack of research examing the distribution of care to elderly dependent people in Spain. The aim of this paper is to analyse how formal and informal care is provided to elderly dependent people in Spain and to assess the socio-economic conditions in which the different kinds of care emerge. METHODS: This study is based on a sample of the elderly dependent population selected from those who reported the need of care in the 2003 Spanish Health Survey. The distribution of care among older people was cross-tabulated to identify the type of care, while regression models were used to identify the socio-economic characteristics of people receiving formal and/or informal care. RESULTS: Around 7.5% of the elderly people who need care do not receive it. Among those who do receive it, 89.4% receive informal care, 14.8% private care and 8.1% public care. 11.9% of elderly people in the study receive a mix of formal an informal care. Elderly people living in households in which the monthly income exceeds EUR 900 are five times more likely than people living in households in which the monthly income is less than EUR 600 to receive private care instead of public care. People older than 84 years are six times more likely to receive public care than people aged between 65 and 74. CONCLUSIONS: Men are two times more likely than women to receive exclusively informal care. Women are three times more likely than men to receive both kinds of care simultaneously. Formal care complements informal care. Private care is more common than public care. Men, people living in larger-sized households, and people with fewer socio-economic resources are more likely to receive informal care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
