Net cost deviation individual and family care, SEK million

Net cost deviation is net cost minus reference cost for individual and family care, here shown in million SEK. Net cost is gross cost less gross revenue. The reference cost is based as of 2019 on the net cost of individual and family care in the country, share of low-skilled 20-40-year-olds born in Sweden, urban population, share of residents in multi-family homes built in 1965-75, share of children and young people aged 0-19 in households with low income standards when financial assistance is excluded, unhealthy rates, correction for border commuting to Denmark and Norway and wages for municipal employees. Data for low income standards are based on previous year’s outcome. Positive values indicate higher cost than statistically expected and negative values a lower cost than statistically expected. Up to and including 2018, net cost deviation was calculated according to the previous standard cost model for IFO. This affects comparability with previous years from 2019. Source: SKR
