Health across Generations in Europe. The role of Age, Gender, and Education
Health inequalities among older adults remain a major concern in ageing European populations. While shaped by age, gender, and education, how these health inequalities evolve across generations is less clear. This study examines six European birth cohorts from age 50 to advanced old age using 18 years of longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Poor self-perceived health (SPH) and multimorbidity (three…
Old age is also a time for change: Trends in news intermediary preferences among internet users in Canada and Spain
The social distancing imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the digitalisation of societies, which also influenced habits related to the consumption and dissemination of news. In this context, older individuals are often blamed for contributing to disinformation, which is associated with the echo chambers fostered by social media. Mass media, social media and personal communication tools act as mass, social or personal intermediaries when …
Caring trajectories and health in mid-life
Previous research has found varied effects of informal care provision on the carer's health status. Few studies have, however, examined this relationship dynamically. This paper is the first to analyse trajectories of care among men and women in mid-life and their impact on health outcomes using a nationally representative prospective cohort study. Data from three waves of the United Kingdom (UK) National Child Development Study (N = 7,465), when…
Covid-19: Technology, Social Connections, Loneliness, and Leisure Activities: An International Study Protocol
Drawn from the stress process model, the pandemic has imposed substantial stress to individual economic and mental well-being and has brought unprecedented disruptions to social life. In light of social distancing measures, and in particular physical distancing because of lockdown policies, the use of digital technologies has been regarded as the alternative to maintain economic and social activities. This paper aims to describe the design and im…
Caught in the middle in mid-life: Provision of care across multiple generations
With a large baby-boomer generation entering mid-later life in the United Kingdom, and families spanning across multiple generations, understanding how individuals support multiple generations is of increasing research and policy significance. Data from the British 1958 National Child Development Study, collected when respondents were aged 55, are used to examine how mid-life women and men allocate their time to support elderly parents/parents-in…
The dynamics of social care and employment in mid-life
This study investigates the relationship between the provision of informal care to older parents/parents-in-law and the employment status of adult children in mid-life. The study analyses unique panel data for a cohort of individuals born in 1958 in Britain, focusing on respondents at risk of providing care ( i.e. with at least one surviving parent/parent-in-law) and in employment at 50. Logistic regression is used to investigate the impact of ca…
Intergenerational flows of support between parents and adult children in Britain
Understanding patterns of intergenerational support is critical within the context of demographic change, such as changing family structures and population ageing. Existing research has focused on intergenerational support at a given time in the individuals' lifecourse, e.g. from adult children towards older parents and vice versa ; however, few studies have focused on the dynamic nature of such support. Analysing data from the 1958 National Chil…
Disability-Free Life Expectancy: A Cross-National Comparison Among Bulgarian, Italian, and Latin American Older Population
Further research should be carried out with standardized instruments that allow a more direct comparison, along with measurements of the potential differences across countries, which could explain differences in disability prevalence and DFLE
