title: [The institutional population:  trends].
abstract: "The institutional population includes the population in homes for the aged, nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, prisons and educational and religious institutions.  On 1 January 1990 there were 278,000 people in this population group in the Netherlands, which amounts to 2% of the total population.  During the period 1960-1990 the institutional population showed a smaller increase than the total population (6% vs. 30%); during the eighties the number has decreased.  In this population the share of people of 65 or older has increased from 29% in 1960 to 67% in 1987." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
