Results of a national study of state-operated institutional care in the United States were presented. The relations among census reduction, staffing level, and resident cost were explored. Resident cost escalated dramatically in recent years, primarily because staffing levels in the states remained relatively stable, whereas the institutional census continued to decline. Econometric projections suggest that by the year 2000, the institutional census will fall below 55,000 persons, cost per resident will rise to more than $113,000 per year, and 28 to 51 institutions will close.
美国一项关于州立机构照料的全国性研究结果公布了。研究探讨了人口普查减少、人员配备水平和居民成本之间的关系。近年来居民成本急剧上升，主要原因是各州的人员配备水平相对稳定，而机构普查人数却持续下降。计量经济学预测表明，到2000年，机构普查人数将降至55000人以下，每位居民的成本将升至每年超过113000美元，并且28至51家机构将关闭。
