Concepts and Literature

Chapter 2 in Unequal Ageing in Europe, 2015, pp 15-33 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is devoted to the definition of concepts, the construction of indicators, and the choice of data. The idea is to seek the simplest way to bridge the gap between the macro representation of ageing indicators and the micro experience of individuals, in this case to highlight differences between men and women. Given the decision to survey experience across countries, a further matter of importance is ensuring that the data used can be compared: that they have similar meaning and coverage. A further issue is that the data and the indicators must be able to feed into policy discussion by shedding light on social processes in a transparent manner.
