How Sustainable is the Familial Support of Elderly in Asia?
AbstractThis paper examines the extent of familial monetary support for the elderly in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand, representing diverse public social security and assistance programs for the elderly across Asian countries. Using the National Transfer Accounts framework, Japan was found to experience the highest and China the lowest lifecycle deficit (LCD). Except Indonesia, the consumption of public and private goods and services at old ages is fast increasing in the Asian countries. In Japan public transfer supports 39.4% of the LCD of the 60 plus population and private asset-base...

Health and Its Relationship with Residential Relocations of Older People to Institutions versus to Independent Dwellings
AbstractResearch into older people ’s relocations to independent dwellings has largely remained separate from research into moves to institutions. Yet, both types of moves could be a response to health problems and to a certain extent they could be substitutes for each other. Using Litwak and Longino’s model of moves of older peo ple, this study assesses the extent to which three commonly used health measures (limitations in activities of daily living [ADL], self-rated health, and the prevalence of [limiting] chronic conditions) predict older people’s moves to subsidized care institutions and elsewhere, in one multin...

Reducing Early Retirement in Europe: Do Working Conditions Matter?
AbstractThe paper argues that the existing literature, based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data, on how working conditions impact on early retirement preferences/plans is hampered by the fact that the approach adopted to capture individuals ’ early retirement plans fails to acknowledge that these preferences/plans are defined by reference to the rules that regulate the entitlement to pension benefits. In doing so, these studies risk overestimating the impact of working conditions on early retirement plans. We put forward a more accur ate way of capturing individuals’ early retirement ...

The Changing Capabilities of Cohorts of the Elderly in Russia during 1990 –2020: Measurement using a Quantitative Index
This article analyses the life experiences and capabilities of five Russian birth cohorts turning 60 over the period 199 0–2020. It presents relevant concepts, reviews past research, and evaluates the importance of health factors (health environment, health-related behaviours, medical care, health status) in determining the activities and contributions of older people in Russia. A Human Capabilities of the Elderly i n Russia Index (HCERI) with 22 indicators is developed. Russian data are used in the calculation of the HCERI for the cohorts turning 60 in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2010 and 2020. The article then presents evaluatio...

Productive Ageing Regimes in Europe: Welfare State Typologies Explaining Elderly Europeans ’ Participation in Paid and Unpaid Work
AbstractThe share of elderly in European populations has grown and these elderly are living healthier and longer lives. Policy makers in Europe have accordingly identified an increasing potential for this group to participate in different forms of paid and unpaid activities. In order to systematize European elderly ’s productive activities, the article proceeds in two steps: First, it reviews previous research on country differences in European elderly’s participation in employment, informal care for elderly relatives and volunteering in clubs and associations. Based on data from the European Social Survey (ESS), in a ...
