Özet:

 

Like many other European countries, Belgium has a strong policy of ‘ageing in place’. Older
 people are invited to stay as long as possible in their own home/environment. This policy is
 instigated by shortages in nursing homes and preferences of the older people themselves. Although
 Belgium is considered to have an effective social security system, 6.4 % of the older people living
 at home report care shortages.
 In order to analyze these care shortages, we used - data from our own survey, the Belgian Ageing
 Studies (BAS). In over 100 cities in Flanders, Belgium, a stratified sample was drawn from the
 population data, using gender and age as stratification. A sample of 64280 residents aged sixty
 and over was interviewed between January 2004 and December 2009. The results show that both
 individual, socio-demographic and contextual variables like regional differences, living conditions
 and housing are needed to explain care shortages among older people.
