Well-Being of Older People in Ageing Societies poses answers to the
question of how we can measure and conceptualize the well-being of
older people. It focuses on the future research agenda and policy
reforms that will be necessary to maintain a decent well-being for
older people, given the context of our ageing populations. This
book draws on longitudinal datasets and empirical research on the
multidimensional measures of older people's welfare, providing a
comparative analysis of social assistance and pensions for older
people in the UK and The Netherlands. This title will be essential
reading to anyone with an interest in gerontology and the effect
society, public policy and governance can have on the welfare of
older people.
In the past fifteen years, microsimulation models have become
firmly established as vital tools for analysis of the
distributional impact of changes in governmental programmes. Across
Europe, the US, Canada and Australia, microsimulation models are
used extensively to assess who are the winners and losers from
proposed policy reforms; this is now expanding into new frontiers,
both geographically and in terms of policy areas. With
contributions from more than 60 international experts, this volume
offers a comprehensive introduction to the state of microsimulation
internationally, illustrating a wide range of new applications and
approaches. It will be of relevance to government policy makers,
social policy planners, economists and those concerned with
predicting the impact of public policy change and to academics in a
variety of disciplines, especially social and public policy, human
geography, development studies and economics.
The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA), adopted
at the Second World Assembly on Ageing, is the first international
agreement that specifically recognises the potential of older
people to contribute to the development of their societies. In
monitoring its implementation two key approaches are evident: a
qualitative bottom-up participatory approach and an approach that
uses quantitative indicators to monitor sustainable progress and
policies. With the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and
Research, playing a pivotal role in the monitoring of the
implementation process, one of its key tasks has been to develop a
list of 'indicators of achievement'. This book contains extended
and revised versions of policy briefs and background papers that
support the implementation monitoring process. The analyses
included in these chapters make concrete suggestions towards
quantitative indicators, with the aim of assisting national
governments in mainstreaming ageing in their policies. The
contributors provide an overview of the current situation with
respect to population ageing and its consequences and also provide
projections for the future. The book also includes the final list
of quantitative indicators that arose out of consultations with
international experts, related to the four main topics addressed:
demography, income and wealth, labour market participation, and
social protection and financial sustainability.

This book provides multinational evidence on active and healthy
ageing. It generates authoritative new knowledge for mutual
learning and policymaking in addressing challenges linked with
population ageing. The authors discuss how to achieve better active
ageing outcomes through appropriate policies including addressing
life course determinants of active and healthy ageing. The chapters
are distinctive in their focus on quantitative analysis of active
and healthy ageing based on a first-of-its-kind composite measure,
the Active Ageing Index developed during the 2012 European Year for
Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. Contributors
include researchers, civil service representatives, policymakers
and other stakeholders from national, regional and European
organisations. This edited volume provides a multidisciplinary
resource for academics and policy makers in various areas of the
social sciences, especially those studying population ageing and
its consequences, economists, sociologists, social policy analysts
and public health experts.

Providing an overview of the future research challenges for
economists and social scientists concerning population ageing,
pensions, health and social care in Europe, this book examines how
scientific research can provide cutting-edge evidence on income
security and well-being of the elderly, and labour markets and
older workers.
