Abstract/Sommario: he EU population, like those of most other world regions, is living longer and in better health. Population ageing presents a number of challenges for our welfare systems and public finances. Indeed, the EU Member States spend, on average, more than a quarter of their GDP on social protection, most of it for the benefit of older people in the form of pensions, health and long-term care.

Population ageing presents a number of challenges for our welfare systems and public finances. Indeed, the EU Member States spend, on average, more than a quarter of their GDP on social protection, most of it for the benefit of older people in the form of pensions, health and long-term care. Ageing is perceived by many as a threat instead of one of our greatest achievements. The growing number of older people is seen as a burden on the working-age population. These fears neglect, however, the fact that a growing number of older people are in good health, have valuable skills and experience and are willing to make a significant contribution to society, a contribution from which young people can strongly benefit. Allowing people to stay active as they grow older and to continue contributing to society is key to tackling the challenge of demographic ageing. This is why the European Union decided to designate 2012 as the "European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations". This survey has been commissioned by the European Commission's Directorate General for the Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion to understand European citizens’ views and attitudes towards older people, the contribution of older people in the workplace and society, and how best to promote an active role of older people in society. In fact, active ageing is not just about the participation of older workers in the labour market, it's about their active contribution to society through voluntary work, notably as family carers, or the possibility to live independently thanks to adapted housing and infrastructure. This report covers the 27 Member States and five non-EU countries; namely Croatia, Iceland, FYROM, Norway and Turkey. The results are presented at an aggregate level for the EU27 excluding the five non-EU countries. The socio-demographic analysis focuses primarily on age, gender, occupation and relative affluence. The main themes addressed in this report are: overall perceptions of age and older people, older people in the workplace, retirement and pensions, voluntary work and support for older people, age friendly environment.

Abstract/Sommario: The European Union’s population structure is changing and becoming progressively older – at the beginning of 2010, there were 87 million people aged 65 and over in the EU, more than 17 % of the total population. In response to demographic challenges being faced within Europe, the European Union designated 2012 as the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. The overall objective of the European Year is to facilitate the creation of an active ageing culture in ...; [Leggi tutto...] The European Union’s population structure is changing and becoming progressively older – at the beginning of 2010, there were 87 million people aged 65 and over in the EU, more than 17 % of the total population. In response to demographic challenges being faced within Europe, the European Union designated 2012 as the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. The overall objective of the European Year is to facilitate the creation of an active ageing culture in Europe based on a society for all ages. As Europeans live longer and healthier lives, governments are looking for ways to involve older persons more in society and to keep them active. Eurostat is marking the European Year by publishing this book which contains statistics on topics such as demography, healthcare, pensions, volunteering and adult learning.

Il percorso di analisi proposto prende avvio con un esame dell’andamento della disoccupazione nell’ultima decade a livello internazionale e italiano. Con particolare riferimento al nostro Paese, vengono poi esaminate le principali modifiche indotte dalla fase recessiva su alcuni aspetti peculiari della disoccupazione, nonché la direzione intrapresa dai cambiamenti. Il quadro è arricchito da un approfondimento sulla popolazione straniera, che sta assumendo un ruolo sempre più rilevante anche sul versante della disoccupazione. Il capitolo finale è dedicato alle relazioni intercorrenti tra la disoccupazione e l’inattività prima e durante il periodo di crisi.

This book addresses the issue of unemployment considering the appreciable growth occurred in 2008-2009, using the information on individuals and families gathered by the Labor Force Survey. The analytical path begins by examining unemployment trends both at Italian and international level over the last decade. This is followed by a closer look at our own Country and certain peculiar aspects of unemployment that were influenced by the recessive phase and the direction these changes have taken. The framework is enriched by an in-depth examination of the foreign population, which has been playing a more and more significant role on the unemployment side lately. The final chapter is devoted to the relationships between unemployment and inactivity both before and during the crisis period.
