This diploma thesis presents an estimation of the population of dependents aged 65 years and older and of nursing home residents of the same age group up to the year 2035. Dependency is defined according to the social services law of 2006 as the entitlement to a cash allowance designated for social care. Data on beneficiaries of the cash allowance were employed to estimate the future population of dependents and nursing home users. Three variants of calculations were made. They differ in the assumption about the development of dependency in the future. A sample survey was carried out to find out the age and gender structure of the nursing home population and information gained was also used to estimate the future number of nursing homes' users. The initial chapters are devoted to demographic ageing, the system of social services and the most commonly used social services by seniors. One chapter presents important features that influence demand for social services (health status, marital status, educational level and informal care). Another chapter analyses data on cash allowances provided by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
