Presentation of the First Results Book based on SHARE waves 6 and 7 data
Ministarstvo rada, mirovinskoga sustava, obitelji i socijalne politike (online) Ulica grada Vukovara 78, ZagrebThe First Results Book based on data from SHARE waves 6 and 7 was presented. The Book covers various topics from the socio-economic status and health of individuals during the life cycle. SHARE places special emphasis on the interrelationship between health, social well-being and the socio-economic status of older people. A person's health, economic status and social networks are not predetermined. On the contrary, they are shaped by the interaction of biology, the conditions of growing up in a parental/family environment, and the education of a person throughout the life cycle. This monograph, therefore, provides an overview of the first results of the sixth and seventh waves of the study and serves as a kind of inspiration for insight into what types of research SHARE data allow. Finally, SHARE has a unique interdisciplinary, lifelong and internationally comparative approach. For this reason, the European Commission and the Member States use data from the SHARE study to assess, inter alia, health and long-term care costs, healthy life expectancy and the adequacy of pensions through which the European Commission regularly assesses Member States' national pension systems.
