How Do Gendered Labour Market Trends and the Pay Gap Translate into the Project...

This article explores how the Gender Pension Gap (GPG)—the relative difference in average pension received by men and women—might evolve in the future in various European countries, given past, current, and projected future labour market behaviour and earnings of women and men, and current pension regulations. The GPG reflects career inequalities between women and men, though these are partly mitigated by the r...

Financial and Social Sustainability of the Portuguese Pension System (Estudos d...

O Envelhecimento ativo em Portugal através do Active Ageing Index e do AgeWatch...

Este relatório dá conta da posição de Portugal em dois índices internacionais do envelhecimento ativo - o Active Ageing Index (AAI) e o AgeWatch Index (AWI) -, avaliando ainda a sua utilidade para a monitorização das políticas públicas. Estes índices revelam que Portugal está abaixo da média europeia no que respeita ao envelhecimento ativo. Há, naturalmente, aspetos em que está melhor e outros em que está pior....

Do predictors of volunteering in older age differ by health status?

Therefore, it is crucial to examine the participation of older people in volunteering, especially those in poor health. Based on the resource theory of volunteering, the aim of this study is to better understand the correlates of volunteering among older people with different health ...
