The Aging Research Center at Karolinska Institutet (ARC KI) and the Swedish National Family Care Competence Center (Nka) commissioned Statistics Sweden (SCB) to conduct a nationwide survey from May to September of 2023. The survey targeted individuals aged 55 and older, drawing a sample from the Total Population Register. A stratified random sample of 30,894 people was selected. Data collection involved postal invitations, online options, and multiple reminders. A total of 16,959 people responded (54.9% response rate) and 2585 were informal caregivers. In this seminar, we will take you through some main findings and describe the available data, including a possibility of linking to other registers.
