Caring for non-household members
Care provided to individuals not living in the same household is an important part of the transmission of support to dependent persons, but there are methodological variations in how this is measured. This study compares reported time caring for adults or children living in other households by caregivers aged 50 and older using two surveys among seven European countries: the Harmonized Time Use Survey (HETUS) and the Survey of Health and Aging in…
Setting the scene
With increasing demand for informal carers, young adults are taking up care of dependent adults. However, early adulthood is the period in which most people invest in human capital and transition to employment. Being neither in employment nor in training (NEET) during this period may have long-term effects, increasing the risk of poor mental health. This study explores data from the third wave of the European Health Survey to better understand th…
The consequences of caring on health during early adulthood in Spain
Young informal carers are gaining importance due to the growing demand for older care needs and the reduction of available family carers. Caring can be intense and time-consuming, and is associated with lower educational attainment, income, and poorer health. Despite the need to understand the impact of care during early adulthood in Spain, where public care support to dependent adults is scarce, no studies have yet investigated this phenomenon. …
Macro-level factors explaining inequalities in expected years lived free of and with chronic conditions across Spanish regions and over time (2006–2019)
Life expectancy has long been associated with macro-level factors, including health expenditures, but little research has focused on the relationship with morbidity measures. This paper examines the relationship between the expected years lived free of and with chronic conditions (YLFCC and YLCC) at age 50 and macroeconomic and social factors including, for the first time, several indicators of public health expenditure. We calculate YLFCC and YL…
Expected years lived with intimate partner violence
BACKGROUND: Intimate Partner Violence against women (IPV) is a major public health problem. However, mainstream indicators used in public health are not designed to fully capture the pervasive and enduring impact of IPV. OBJECTIVE: We propose a new indicator that considers the burden of IPV in women during their middle life years, estimating the number of years that women are expected to live under IPV, and provide estimates for 151 countries. ME…

Longevity and Lifespan Variation by Educational Attainment in Spain
For a long time, studies of socioeconomic gradients in health have limited their attention to between-group comparisons. Yet, ignoring the differences that might exist within groups and focusing on group-specific life expectancy levels and trends alone, one might arrive at overly simplistic conclusions. Using data from the Spanish Encuesta Sociodemográfica and recently released mortality files by the Spanish Statistical Office (INE), this is the …
The Effect of Education on the Demographic Dividend
The impact of population structure on economic growth has been studied in recent decades using different methods to estimate the so-called demographic dividend. Besides, education has been pointed out as a key factor in economic growth. We propose a decomposition of the demographic dividend, into age and education effects. We illustrate the potentialities of the method, deriving an application to Mexico and Spain over the period 1970-2100. To tha…
Intergenerational money and time transfers by gender in Spain
The analysis of intergenerational transfers can shed light on the interaction between population age structure and welfare. Nevertheless, a thorough examination of this issue requires consideration of both monetary (market) and time (non-market) transfers
The impact of cigarette smoking on life expectancy between 1980 and 2010
Recent trends indicate a substantial rise in the population-level impact of tobacco smoking on life expectancy in women and in middle-income countries. High-quality local data are needed in most low-income countries
Is low fertility really a problem? Population aging, dependency, and consumption
Longer lives and fertility far below the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman are leading to rapid population aging in many countries. Many observers are concerned that aging will adversely affect public finances and standards of living. Analysis of newly available National Transfer Accounts data for 40 countries shows that fertility well above replacement would typically be most beneficial for government budgets. However, fertility near rep…
On the effects of public and private transfers on capital accumulation
Análise dos determinantes da participação no mercado de trabalho dos idosos em São Paulo
O objetivo do trabalho é analisar os determinantes da condição de atividade e das horas trabalhadas dos indivíduos de 60 anos e mais que moravam em São Paulo no ano 2000. Entre os determinantes, a condição de saúde é tratada com especial atenção. Os dados provêm da Sabe, uma pesquisa sobre Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento, da Opas. Para controlar o viés de endogeneidade que provém da relação entre o estado de saúde e a participação no mercado de…
