Boer, A. de, Klerk, M. de, Cardol, M., Westert, G. Social networks and receiving informal care. In: G.P. Westert; L. Jabaaij; F.G. Schellevis. Morbidity, performance and quality in primary care: Dutch general practice on stage. Oxon: Radcliffe Publishing, 2006. 135-143
In 2001, roughly half a million people (4% of the Dutch population) received informal care from
family members living outside their home, and a quarter of a million (2% of the Dutch population)
received this care from acquaintances, such as friend, neighbours and work colleagues. The potential
supply of informal care - indicate by the number for people in one's network - was shown to be of
less importance than the actual frequency of contacts with network members. Furthermore, adults aged
up to 44 years receive informal care from familly members relatively frequently. Membership of
lavour organisations, churches and recreational association showed no additional correlation with
the receipt of informal care form acquaintances. (aut. ref.)
