Abstract

Abstract As in many other countries, the population of Sweden is getting older. This means that the number of older people in society will increase in absolute numbers and relative terms. Consequently, the need for elderly housing will increase, and the cost of these investments will be high. The following study aims to perform a quantitative analysis of the spatial distribution of the number and size of housing units for the elderly in Sweden in 2013–2018. The number of elderly housing units per capita is not evenly distributed, and a large part of the explanation is, of course, that the number of older people is not evenly distributed between municipalities. Nevertheless, we can also state that the municipality’s income level and tax base, as well as the geographical size and degree of urbanization, play a role. If the municipality has a surplus or deficit in the supply of special housing for the elderly, it does not correlate with the distribution of COVID-19 cases.

是什么决定了老年住房的供应，它与COVID-19的传播有何关系?

摘要与许多其他国家一样，瑞典的人口正在变老。这意味着社会中老年人的数量将在绝对数量和相对数量上增加。因此，对老年人住房的需求将增加，这些投资的成本将很高。以下研究旨在对2013-2018年瑞典老年人住房单元数量和规模的空间分布进行定量分析。人均老年人住房的数量分布不均匀，当然，很大一部分原因是老年人的数量在城市之间分布不均匀。尽管如此，我们也可以说，该市的收入水平和税基，以及城市化的地理规模和程度，都发挥了作用。如果市政府在老年人特殊住房供应方面存在盈余或赤字，则与新冠肺炎病例的分布无关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
