Abstract

Aging constitutes the dominant demographic challenge globally. The demographic transition entails a paradigm shift in the economic model to accommodate economic structures to life-expectancy gains. The socioeconomic implications from this transition remain largely undefined conceptually from an integrated perspective and unrecognized in official statistics. This study introduces a multidimensional and multi-actor reference framework, and a composite indicator, the Senior Economy Tracker (SET), to measure national readiness and progress in adapting to the demographic transition, over time and across countries. We apply our indicator to 27 European countries in 2010-2021. Our study reveals crucial differences in pathways and stages of maturity in addressing the socioeconomic impacts of aging. The proposed indicator aims to guide action to adapt economic structures to longer life spans, assist organizational and individual decision making, facilitate the development of effective policy interventions and raise awareness of the demographic transition.

监测人口结构转型的社会经济准备情况:老年经济跟踪系统介绍
老龄化是全球最主要的人口挑战。人口结构转型意味着经济模式的转变,使经济结构适应预期寿命的延长。从综合角度看,这一转变对社会经济的影响在很大程度上仍未从概念上加以界定,也未在官方统计中得到认可。本研究引入了一个多维度、多因素的参考框架,以及一个综合指标--老年经济跟踪(SET),以衡量各国在适应人口结构转型方面的准备情况和进展。我们将这一指标应用于 2010-2021 年的 27 个欧洲国家。我们的研究揭示了在应对老龄化的社会经济影响方面,各国在途径和成熟阶段上的关键差异。建议的指标旨在指导行动,使经济结构适应更长的寿命,协助组织和个人决策,促进制定有效的政策干预措施,提高对人口结构转型的认识。
