The COVID-19 pandemic posed a major threat to the well-being of
older Europeans. Its economic and social effects, however, varied
across countries. This multidisciplinary book presents the first
results of analyses that combined the renowned longitudinal
database of SHARE with new data from two telephone surveys that
were uniquely conducted during the pandemic. The analyses address
important policy-related issues, such as: Did social
distancing destabilize family and social support networks? Did
the pandemic increase health, social and economic inequality? Who
had to forego essential health care because of the pandemic? Did
lockdown affect one’s physical and mental health? Did the shift
towards remote work affect workload and well-being?
Were different housing conditions related to the spread of the
virus?  
Health in later life is shaped by behavior and policies over the
life course and reflects the differences between the societies in
which we are ageing. This multidisciplinary book answers questions
from all life course phases and its interconnections from a
European perspective based on the most recent SHARE data, such as:
How is our health related to personality traits and influenced by
our childhood conditions and careers? Which role does our social
network play? Which impacts of the different health care and
societal regimes can we trace at older ages? Which are the
differences and similarities across European countries?
