Mainstreaming Ageing / Marin Bernd (2007)

Titre : Mainstreaming Ageing : Indicators to Monitor Sustainable Policies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marin Bernd, Auteur ; Zaidi Asghar, Auteur Editeur : European Centre Vienna Année de publication : 2007 Autre Editeur : European Centre Vienna Collection : Public Policy and Social Welfare Importance : 850 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7546-7361-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA), adopted at the Second World Assembly on Ageing, is the first international agreement that specifically recognises the potential of older people to contribute to the development of their societies. In monitoring its implementation two key approaches are evident: a qualitative bottom-up participatory approach and an approach that uses quantitative indicators to monitor sustainable progress and policies. With the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research, playing a pivotal role in the monitoring of the implementation process, one of its key tasks has been to develop a list of 'indicators of achievement'. This book contains extended and revised versions of policy briefs and background papers that support the implementation monitoring process. The analyses included in these chapters make concrete suggestions towards quantitative indicators, with the aim of assisting national governments in mainstreaming ageing in their policies. The contributors provide an overview of the current situation with respect to population ageing and its consequences and also provide projections for the future. The book also includes the final list of quantitative indicators that arose out of consultations with international experts, related to the four main topics addressed: demography, income and wealth, labour market participation, and social protection and financial sustainability.

New Frontiers in Microsimulation Modelling / Zaidi Asghar (2009)

Titre : New Frontiers in Microsimulation Modelling Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zaidi Asghar, Auteur ; Ann Harding, Auteur ; Paul Williamson, Auteur Editeur : Ashgate Publishing Limited Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 635 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7546-7647-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : During the past 15 years microsimulation models have become firmly established as vital tools for analysis of the distributional impact of changes in government programmes. Across Europe, the US, Canada and Australia, microsimulation models are used extensively to assess who are the winners and losers from proposed policy reforms. Encouraged by the ever-increasing complexity of social and economic programmes, microsimulation models have become an essential part of the policy reform process, allowing identification of the magnitude of gains and losses from policy changes in such areas as taxation, social security, pensions and social services. While the analysis of the distributional impact of tax and cash transfer changes in developed countries has for some decades been the "bread and butter" of microsirnulation modelling, microsimulation is now expanding into new frontiers .These include geographic expansion (into African countries and the countries of the former Soviet Union); subject area expansion (embracing such new topics as small area analysis, health care and child care) ; and breakthroughs in the technology associated with microsimulation (such as in behavioural and labour supply modelling). This volume contains selected papers from the 1st General Conference of the International Microsimulation Association, hosted by the European Centre Vienna in August 2007. As well as providing a useful introduction to the state of microsimulation internationally today, it contains a wide range of chapters illustrating the new applications and approaches being used across the world.

Well-being of Older People in Ageing Societies / Zaidi Asghar (2008)

Titre : Well-being of Older People in Ageing Societies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zaidi Asghar, Auteur Editeur : European Centre Vienna Année de publication : 2008 Autre Editeur : European Centre Vienna Collection : Public Policy and Social Welfare num. 30 Importance : 318 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7546-7596-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Well-Being of Older People in Ageing Societies poses answers to the question of how we can measure and conceptualize the well-being of older people. It focuses on the future research agenda and policy reforms that will be necessary to maintain a decent well-being for older people, given the context of our ageing populations. This book draws on longitudinal datasets and empirical research on the multidimensional measures of older people’s welfare, providing a comparative analysis of social assistance and pensions for older people in the UK and The Netherlands. This title will be essential reading to anyone with an interest in gerontology and the effect society, public policy and governance can have on the welfare of older people.
