The new longevity

  Fecha:
 Tipo: Seminario
 Línea de conocimiento: 
 Localización: Cap Roig (Girona)

The current transition towards longevity is shaped by a demographic change, with a gain in life expectancy occurring at older ages and accompanied by a series of structural (social, economic) and individual changes that give rise to new experiences of ageing and unprecedented social change.

Demographic change: Are we prepared to live 100 years?

  Fecha:
 Tipo: Jornada
 Línea de conocimiento: 
 Localización: Barcelona

The persistently low fertility rate and the increase in life expectancy in Spain and in most Western countries has accelerated the ageing process (relative and absolute) of the population to levels never before seen in the history of mankind. In societies such as ours, this transformation is aggravated by the arrival of the baby boom generations into old age. All of this could undermine the sustainability of the welfare state, the institutional machinery that distributes resources between generations in solidarity through contributions, taxes and transfers.

Dialogues on the Future of Ageing

  Fecha:
 Tipo: Jornada
 Línea de conocimiento: 
 Localización: Santiago de Compostela

Spain has managed to achieve one of the greatest aspirations of any country: to increase the life expectancy of its citizens to levels unprecedented in history. This has brought with it a strong ageing of our demographic pyramid, which is expected to worsen over the coming decades. The fact that the Spanish population is living longer is an enormous source of opportunities, but also a challenge for our Welfare State. What will our pensions be like in 2050? What can we do to retain the older population who want to continue working? How can we promote active ageing?
