Abstract

This book is about the lives of Europeans aged 50 and over. It paints a picture of theirhealth, their families and social networks, their economic situation and their happiness. Itshows the large variation of life circumstances in each country, and it reveals striking differencesas well as similarities across the European countries.Two observations form the background for this book. First, Europe has an enormouswealth in its diversity of cultures, histories and policy approaches. More than any othercontinent, Europe is blessed with large cultural, historical and political differences evenwithin small distances. Comparing countries and regions to simply observe how thesedifferences have shaped the behaviour of the European citizens is a fascinating task; understandingthe mechanisms through which culture, history and public policy affects all of us,is even more fascinating.Second, Europe is ageing. “Old Europe”, as an outside observer has put it, is the continentalready with the highest proportion of elderly citizens, and the population ageingprocess will continue for the better part of this century. Understanding how the ageingprocess will affect us all, and how it affects the people in the European countries differently,because their culture, their historically grown societal structures and their public policyapproaches differ, is an important task for researchers in economics, social sciences andpublic health in order to turn the challenges of population ageing in Europe into chancesfor Europe.Understanding ageing and how it affects individuals in the diverse cultural settings ofEurope is the main task of SHARE, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement inEurope. SHARE has already collected data on the individual life circumstances of about22,000 persons aged 50 and over in 11 European countries, ranging from Scandinavia tothe Mediterranean and data collection is still going on. SHARE has made great efforts todeliver truly comparable data, so we can reliably study how differences in cultures, livingconditions and policy approaches shape the quality of life of Europeans just before andafter retirement. This book presents the first results from SHARE. It is a first step to betterunderstand where we are, where we are heading to, and how we can influence the qualityof life as we age – both as individuals and as societies.Ageing affects all of us, both as individuals and as societies. Section 1 introduces whatwe can learn from SHARE about population ageing, while Section 2 shows the interactionamong health, economic and sociological issues in individual ageing. Section 3 describesthe development process of the SHARE data and presents the current data, its richnessand its limitations. Section 4 provides a summary of our first results. This introductionends with an outlook where SHARE wants to go, and a big Thank You to all our sponsorsand helpers.
