Building a Panel Survey on Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe
Inhalt
Ageing is one of the greatest social and economic challenges of the 21st century in Europe.
SHARE, a EU-sponsored project that will build up a Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement
in Europe, will be a fundamental resource for science and public policy to help mastering this
unprecedented challenge. The main aim of SHARE is to create a pan-European interdisciplinary
panel data set covering persons aged 50 and over. The project brings together
many disciplines, including epidemiology, sociology, statistics, psychology, demography, and
economics. Scientists from some 15 countries work on feasibility studies, experiments, and
instrument development, culminating in a survey of about 22.000 individuals. The
multidisciplinary nature of the data will provide new insights in the complex interactions
between economic, health, psychological and social factors determining the quality of life of
the elderly.
