About the Study Tour
Life expectancy in Sweden is among the highest in the world: 79.9 years for men and 83.7 years for women. As a consequence, health and social care for the elderly are important parts of Swedish welfare policy. One of the aims of seniors care is to help elderly people live normal, independent lives.
Through our program of visits, discover how Sweden tackles successfully this challenge, being ranked at the very top in a United Nations supported global study, The Global Age Watch Index, which examined the quality of life of the elderly in 91 nations.
Thanks to a proactive public policy, Swedes live longer in good health and at home.
The Nordic model, particularly that of Sweden, is frequently cited as an example, especially on its medical and social side.
Life expectancy in Sweden is among the highest in the world (79.9 years for men and 83.7 years for women) and thanks to a proactive public policy, Swedes live longer in good health and at home.
