Peer reviewedSamuelsson, Gillis; Sundstrom, Gerdt – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1988
Statistics on place of death, validated against longitudinal evidence on entrance into nursing homes, shows the "final" rate of institutionalization to have risen in Sweden between 1938 and 1975. Issues concerning who is institutionalized and why appear more important than precise measurement of rates of institutionalization. (Author/NB)
