Description
Objective:
Recent biometric research, based mainly on US data suggests that people not only live longer, but also in better health. This project will first document to what extent this trend exists in Europe as well. A comparison of data from existing national socio-economic panels will establish what happened over the last 10-15 years. A search of archives of health insurance companies and national health services should yield data spanning 40-50 years, thus allowing us to make more solid longer term projections for the health of the elderly. These projections will be used to asses the sustainability of social security system based on a detailed analysis of the influence of better health on the demand for health care and retirement decisions. Future elderly may demand less health care than anticipated because they are healthier, and they might also be able and willing to work longer, thus reducing the burden on pension systems.
