Global Long-Term Care Recipients at Home by Country

The data from 2023 shows Hungary leading with the highest proportion of long-term care recipients at home, with a slight year-on-year increase of 0.25%. In contrast, Spain and the Czech Republic showed declines of 0.29% and 0.18% respectively. While Luxembourg experienced moderate growth, New Zealand and Denmark saw declines in their home care proportions. Notably, Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland faced significant drops. Over the last five years, average variations portray a mixed scenario, with expansion and contraction in different regions. This indicates varying policy priorities and societal preferences for eldercare across these nations.

Future trends to watch include the impact of technology in enhancing home care services and the evolving demographic pressures that could influence home care demand worldwide. Attention to aging populations will be crucial for tailoring country-specific policies and ensuring sustainable home care systems.
