| Annotation | The ILC-UK Population patterns seminar series considers the evidence base of our changing demography and explores how policy-makers need to respond to demographic change. This factpack sets out the evidence on health and life expectancy, for example, that males born in Western Europe today can expect to live for 67.5 years in good health. It focuses on pensioner poverty, with evidence that more than 70% of Bulgarian pensioners live in material deprivation. It examines the employment and retirement prospects of older workers, and finds that on average only 1 in 2 55-64 year olds are employed across the region. Also investigated are the costs of ageing; and whereas Denmark spends the equivalent of more than 5,000 euros per person in old age, Latvia, Romania and Croatia spend only a tenth of this. (RH). |
