On pensioners' circumstances in a large Swedish city. A report from Malmö. 1976

A Bolin, and B Lindström, and A Sagnér, and L Svanström

In 1972-1973 the authors carried out a field-work programme in a surburban area covered by the 4th Welfare District of Malmö with the objective of charting the general circumstances among the pensioners living there. Such surveys should be pursued in such a way that immediate needs would be disclosed and met. The findings were intended to form a basis for future improvement projects. As expected, the results show the necessity of tracking down hidden needs, often underestimated by the pensioners themselves, especially those in poor health and of limited means. Within the framework of a permanent field-work programme, those people must be made more aware of their own interests and rights.
