Esta orientação reflete uma preocupação com o envelhecimento e revela a necessidade de melhor conhecer essas limitações de modo a apoiar políticas de ação social e de saúde, contribuindo para a qualidade de vida e bem-estar da população. Essas políticas assumem um âmbito local na medida em que devem proporcionar condições para que as pessoas portadoras de limitações cognitivas, sensoriais e motoras possam ter, em casa e na comunidade, uma vida mais facilitada e

Cette évolution soulève toutes sortes de problèmes. Elle est objet de débats et de controverses, liées à ses principales implications surtout en ce qui concerne le développement socioéconomique et les chances de viabilité des systèmes de sécurité sociale et de santé. Cependant, les conséquences futures du nombre et du rythme de croissance du vieillissement de la population sont susceptibles d’être influencés par différents parcours de vie, en particulier en ce qui concerne les trajectoires individuelles en matière de scolarité et de profession, ainsi que la mise en œuvre de projets familiaux.

The special focus on Southern Europe is due to the distinctive development paths of this geographical area, as well as to the limited scientific debate and scarcity of international publications on this topic. The overall aim is to promote the studies on housing provision, policies and governance in Southern Europe as compared with the rest of Europe and non-European countries, to monitor their constant changes, and to explore the scope and outcome of these changes.

This article explores the idea that despite sharing cohesion factors, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain also displayed a significant degree of heterogeneity in their housing patterns at the outset of the current economic crisis. The study analyses 2005 and 2009 micro-data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions at two levels. At the macro level, a cluster analysis was used to define four homogeneous groups in the European context. At the micro level, both homogeneous and heterogeneous features of home ownership in the SEC were identified using logistic modelling. The results of the macro analysis highlight the structural proximity between the southern and the post-socialist countries in terms of housing characteristics. With regard to predictors of home ownership, the micro analysis confirms th...

In this paper we look at the relationship between the General Fertility Rate (GFR) and economic uncertainty. The GFR is calculated using monthly data on births from the Short-Term Fertility Fluctuations data series on 17 European countries from 2010 to 2021. Our main independent variables are measures of subjective uncertainty constructed from Eurobarometer survey data - individual’s perceptions about their own current job situation and household finances. We use also objective measures of economic uncertainty such as unemployment rate and the consumer confidence index, traditionally used in the literature. Using fixed-effects regression models, we contribute to a better understanding of the fertility trends since the Great Recession by exploring the link between fertility and economic uncertainty, checking also whether it changed in the pandemic period. We show that economic un...

Taking the Encuesta Financiera de las Familias (2008) as data source, this paper is guided by a two-step analysis aiming to test two hypothesis: 1) there is a correlation between the year of the acquisition of a house or the year when the household moved to a rented house and the year in which the household heads had a child; and 2) being household head of a owner-occupied house increases the likelihood of having a first child. The preliminary results confirm the hypotheses set out.

Tomando como ponto de partida o referencial teórico sobre a escolha do cônjuge e a homogamia, foram aplicados 289 questionários a adultos em processo RVCC, em Lisboa, em 2009. As trajetórias escolares e familiares dos adultos foram reconstruídas para analisar a distância global e educacional entre os cônjuges. A análise dos dados mostrou que, apesar da prevalência da homogamia na população estudada, a presença de casos atípicos enfatiza a relevância do estudo da heterogamia. Quando há diferença no nível educacional dos cônjuges, o adulto em processo de RVCC vai aproximar-se do seu cônjuge. Nos casais homogâmicos, o processo de RVCC faz sobressair a escolarização da população feminina, ou seja, a hipogamia educacional. Palavras-chave homogamia, aprendizagem ao longo da vida, educação de adultos, validação e certificação de competências.

In doing so, these studies risk overestimating the impact of working conditions on early retirement plans. We put forward a more accurate way of capturing individuals' early retirement preferences/plans, which consists in using information on the age at which respondents plan to start collecting the basic pension benefits, and then computing whether the respondent plans to retire before the official age of retirement in his country of residence. Using SHARE microdata, wave 4, we show that individuals exposed to an imbalance between effort and rewards at work
