A new open access book entitled "Active Ageing and Solidarity
between Generations in Europe – First Results from SHARE after the
Economic Crisis" will be presented in Brussels on 27 June 2013. The book is
based on the most recent wave of the SHARE data collected in 2010/2011 and
encompasses a unique examination of the various influences that the recent
economic crisis had on the lives of people aged fifty and over in 18
European countries and Israel. Its main purpose is to provide scientific
evidence of what has changed in the activities and life circumstances of
older Europeans since the crisis has begun, and how it has affected
intergenerational solidarity.More than thirty multidisciplinary papers
assess the influences of the crisis on income, wealth and consumption;
challenges at the end of working life for active and healthy ageing; and
social networks and intergenerational solidarity across the life course.In
Estonia, this research was conducted by Tallinn University, the National
Institute for Health Development, Estonian Association of Gerontology and
Geriatrics and the Ministry of Social Affairs in cooperation with
Statistics Estonia.Further information is available here.Please contact

presentation before May 31, 2013.
