Abstract

[fre] Dans cet article, nous proposons une méthode de mesure multidimensionnelle du bien-être des personnes âgées dans l’UE au cours de la dernière décennie. Cette méthode agrège un certain nombre de facettes du bien-être, à savoir les niveaux moyen et relatif de revenus, les taux de pauvreté et d’inégalité, l’espérance de vie et la santé. Cette mesure synthétique permet de comparer les pays européens, d’étudier l’évolution et l’éventuelle convergence du niveau de bien-être des personnes âgées, qui connaissent des moments difficiles avec le vieillissement démographique et la crise financière de nombreux systèmes de retraite. [eng] In this paper, we propose a multidimensional measurement method to assess the welfare of the elderly for the last decade. This measure aggregates several welfare dimensions, namely average and relative income levels, poverty and inequality rates, life expectancy and health. The aggregate measure allow us to compare European countries and to study the possible convergence in welfare for the elderly who are somehow in difficult position in a time of ageing process and financial crisis of social security systems.
