The Project
SUSTAINWELL addresses the long-term socio-economic impact of population ageing on European society.
Objectives
1. Explore
To explore ageing in a holistic way by analysing:
- The impacts of ageing societies on welfare state transfers along the lifecycle;
- The interaction of welfare state policies with private resources’ allocation devices available for providing welfare;
- The main decisions taken along the whole lifecycle that affect people’s socioeconomic status and welfare (education, fertility, work effort, home production, savings and retirement).
2. Identify
To identify policy options to support a longer and healthy life expectancy and incorporate a lifecycle perspective into welfare policies
3. Provide
To provide new scientific knowledge to help the sandwich-generation in sustaining baby-boomers entering retirement, without decreasing fertility nor investment in education.
