Abstract

This paper describes what the CHER data base can tell us about the economic and social conditions of the elderly across Europe. Information of this kind is very important for public policy given the rapidly growing fraction of elderly in the European population. We focus on health status, labor market activity, in particular employment and exit rates into retirement, income level and structure, home ownership and ownership durables, social relations and well-being.
