BackgroundThe Australian government recognises the importance of informal care to enable ageing in place. Yet, few multivariable studies have examined aspects of informal care that alter the probability of entry to residential care in Australia. Existing Australian and international studies show differing effects of informal care on entry to residential care.MethodsWe utilise unique administrative data on aged care assessments collected from 2010 to 2013, consisting of 280,000 persons aged 65 and over. Logistic regression models were fitted to measure the propensity to be recommended care in a residential care setting, disaggregated by characteristics of informal care provision.ResultsProviding some explanation for the divergent findings in the literature, we show that close familial carer relationships (partner or child) and coresidence are associated with recommendations to live in the community. Weaker non-coresidential friend or neighbour carer relationships are associated with recommendations to live in residential care for women, as are non-coresidential other relatives (not a child, partner or in-law) for both males and females. Non-coresident carers who are in-laws (for females) or parents have no impact on assessor recommendations. Despite these significant differences, health conditions and assistance needs play a strong role in assessor recommendations about entry to residential care.ConclusionCo-resident care clearly plays an important protective role in residential care admission. Government policy should consider the need for differential supports for co-resident carers as part of future aged care reform.
79Marijan Jukić -Utjecaj demogeografskih procesa na transformaciju đakovačkog kraja HRVATSKI GEOGRAFSKI GLASNIK 69/2, 79 -98 (2007 Utjecaj demogeografskih procesa na transformaciju đakovačkog kraja Marijan JukićU posljednjem stoljeću došlo je do velikih demogeografskih i gospodarskih promjena koje su snažno utjecale na transformaciju kulturnog pejsaža Đakovštine. Demogeografske promjene su jasno vidljive i odnose se na smanjenje ukupnog broja stanovnika, gustoće te na daljnje pogoršanje razmještaja, prirodnog kretanja i migracije, kao i negativne promjene u strukturnim obilježjima stanovništva. Depopulacija je dominantan proces, a sadašnje društveno-gospodarsko stanje ne pruža mogućnosti skore i brze demografske te ukupne društveno-gospodarske revitalizacije ovog dijela Hrvatske.Ključne riječi: stanovništvo, depopulacija, demogeografija, kulturni pejsaž, Đakovština The Influence of Demographic Processes on the Transformation of the Đakovo RegionIn the last century, great demographical and economical changes occured and had a strong influence on the development of the Đakovo region. Demographical changes are evident and refer to reduction of population, density, further deterioration of spatial deployment, natural trends, migration and negative changes of the population composition. Depopulation is a dominant proces, and current socio-economic situation does not offer a possibility of imminent and rapid demographical and socio-economical revitalization of this part of Croatia.Key words: population, depopulation, demogeography, cultural landscape, Đakovo region UVODĐakovački kraj ili Đakovština, prostor je složenih populacijsko-geografskih obilježja i procesa. Utjecajem prirodnih predispozicija za naseljavanje, ali i raznolikih društveno-gospodarskih i povijesno-političkih čimbenika tijekom prošlosti, proizašao je nestabilan i uvelike specifičan demogeografski razvoj Đakovštine. Specifičnost đakovačkog kraja dolazi do izražaja čak i unutar okvira ravničarske Istočne Hrvatske, a ogleda se u
The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of recommended long term care settings following aged care assessments in Australia. Using unique administrative data on 500,000 aged care assessments, we utilized multinomial logistic regression models to estimate the association between characteristics of the individual (their assistance needs, health conditions and demographic characteristics) and the recommended long-term care setting. The vast majority (94%) of recommended long-term care settings were for private residences (54%) or residential care (40%). Persons assessed in a setting other than a private residence were unlikely to have a recommended setting for a private residence. Consistent with the assessors toolkit, assistance needs were strongly associated with long term care recommendations. Results provide strong support for the evidence-based approach of aged care assessments in Australia. Nonetheless, with improvements in administrative data linkages and ongoing policy reforms, further analysis is required to reinforce extant policy guidelines.
