title: [Demographic aging in Germany and the need for care in private households: a regional perspective].
abstract: "In the Federal Republic of Germany there are regional differences in the ageing process. As a result the increase of people needing care and attention differs regionally, too. The authors deal with the following questions: Which particular regions will be most affected by the ageing process and to which extent? How is the proportion of people needing care and those providing it in private households affected by this? To which extent can private households cope with the demands of nursing elderly people at home?" The focus is on the period 1992 to 2010.  (SUMMARY IN ENG)
