Abstract: This open access book examines the triangle between family, gender, and health in Europe from a demographic perspective. It helps to understand patterns and trends in each of the three components separately, as well as their interdependencies. It overcomes the widely observable specialization in demographic research, which usually involves researchers studying either family or fertility processes or focusing on health and mortality.

This document is the result of such project and contains the research agenda that will enable Europe to respond successfully to the unprecedented demographic challenges it faces. Its twin starting points are the high priority allocated to population ageing, by Member States and the European Union as a whole, and the fundamental importance of scientific research as the driver of innovations in public policy, in a wide range of clinical and other professional practices, and in the development of products and services. The combination of science and innovation will be the cornerstone of Europe’s future success, both in terms of economic growth and the promotion of social quality for all citizens, and that equation lies at the heart of this Road Map. The Road Map for ageing research is the product of the most extensive consultation ever undertaken in this field, involving all of the major stakeholder groups and end users of ageing research, and spanning a 2 year period.

Abstract: Lo scopo di questo libro è aiutare le aziende a gestire i "senior" come vere risorse, e farne dei pilastri della performance aziendale, anziché sopportarli in attesa di scivoli forzati verso il prepensionamento. L'"active ageing" è una sfida che tutte le aziende dovranno affrontare: partire tra i primi diventa un reale vantaggio competitivo. L'Italia ha conquistato un record poco noto e ancor meno invidiabile: quello della forza lavoro più anziana del mondo. La causa principale è che p ...; [Read more...] Lo scopo di questo libro è aiutare le aziende a gestire i "senior" come vere risorse, e farne dei pilastri della performance aziendale, anziché sopportarli in attesa di scivoli forzati verso il prepensionamento. L'"active ageing" è una sfida che tutte le aziende dovranno affrontare: partire tra i primi diventa un reale vantaggio competitivo. L'Italia ha conquistato un record poco noto e ancor meno invidiabile: quello della forza lavoro più anziana del mondo. La causa principale è che pochi giovani purtroppo lavorano: la maggior parte dei dipendenti italiani è concentrata tra i 45 ed i 55 anni di età, e oggi a 50 anni sei poco oltre la metà della tua vita lavorativa.

Abstract: Ageing has a wide range of impacts on individuals and society as a whole. But the consequences for health care, working life, income and well-being in general are not always what many people imagine. OECD Insights "Ageing. Debate the Issues" discusses the problems, challenges, and opportunities that ageing brings to citizens and governments in developed and developing countries. Experts on demography, medical research, pensions, employment and other domains from inside and outside the ...; [Read more...] Ageing has a wide range of impacts on individuals and society as a whole.

Abstract: Demographic change is, without any doubt, one of the megatrends that will influence Europe in many ways during the next decades. The European Council and the European Commission have recognised this for some years now and it has even been reflected in the EU Treaty. This report focuses on the most relevant probable effects of demographic change on work in Europe – a shrinking workforce and the changing composition of this workforce.
