Abstract: In this paper, we propose a multidimensional measurement method to assess the welfare of the elderly for the last decade. This measure aggregates several welfare dimensions, namely average and relative income levels, poverty and inequality rates, life expectancy and health. The aggregate measure allow us to compare European countries and to study the possible convergence in welfare for the elderly who are somehow in difficult position in a time of ageing process and financial crisis of social security systems.
