Abstract

Population ageing impacts on all social systems. The aim of this paper is to characterise the impacts of an ageing population on the social services and healthcare systems in the Czech Republic. These are the systems that will be most affected by the growing number of people of post-productive age. For social services, an estimate of the evolution of the number of beneficiaries of care allowance up to 2030 was drawn up on the basis of an analysis of the evolution in the number of beneficiaries of this social benefit by sex, age and degree of dependency in the years 2007 to 2016; for healthcare, an estimate of health insurance companies’ expected expenditure on healthcare was drawn up on the basis of an analysis of the evolution of spending on healthcare by health insurance companies, broken down by clients’ sex and age. The calculations clearly show that both these systems are unprepared for tackling the consequences of population ageing, so the search should begin now for new solutions that would help ensure that both social services and healthcare continue to be provided to clients to the existing standard in the coming period.

人口老化对社会制度的影响-选择议题

人口老龄化对所有社会制度都有影响。本文的目的是描述人口老龄化对捷克共和国社会服务和医疗保健系统的影响。这些系统将受到越来越多的育龄人口的最大影响。在社会服务方面，根据对2007年至2016年按性别、年龄和依赖程度分列的护理津贴受益人人数演变情况的分析，对截至2030年护理津贴受益人人数的演变情况进行了估计;在医疗保健方面，根据对医疗保险公司医疗保健支出演变的分析，并按客户的性别和年龄分列，对医疗保险公司的预期医疗保健支出进行了估计。计算清楚地表明，这两个系统都没有准备好应对人口老龄化的后果，因此，现在应该开始寻找新的解决方案，以确保在未来一段时间内，社会服务和医疗保健继续按照现有标准向客户提供。
