到20世纪上半叶，大多数欧洲国家都引入了这样或那样的公共养老金计划。在这样做的过程中，他们肯定了国家在为个人提供某种形式的支持方面的作用，除了少数人之外，其他所有人都很难为自己提供这种支持。这些计划的目标一般都很有限：通过促进工作期间的储蓄来减少老年贫困的风险。理由很简单：在工作能力因健康或功能丧失而日益受损的人生阶段，提供经济支持——一种定期和可靠的收入。在20世纪下半叶，第二次世界大战后，随着财富的增加，人们对政府的责任提出了更高的要求，即提高养老金的慷慨程度，扩大福利制度，为老年人提供除基本养老金收入外的其他福利，包括提供社会护理（例如，为没有家庭、无法在自己家中照顾自己的老年人提供养老院）。政策仍然被广泛地认为是对与年龄有关的损害独立性的损失的集体反应。当人口老龄化——生育率下降、预期寿命延长和群体规模差异的结果——出现在政策视野中时，政府不仅被迫重新考虑现有的与年龄有关的权利安排的可持续性，而且还要重新考虑对与年龄有关的损失进行补救的政策的狭隘焦点。越来越明显的是，针对老年人的政策必须在其范围内更加雄心勃勃。为了实现公共养老金的可持续性和
By the end of the first half of the twentieth century most European states had introduced public pension schemes of one sort or another. In doing so they were affirming the role of the state in providing individuals with a form of support that all but a few would struggle to provide for themselves. The objectives of these schemes were generally quite limited: to reduce the risk of poverty in old age by facilitating savings during working life. The rationale was simple: to provide access to financial support-a regular and reliable income–for a time of life when the ability to work was increasingly impaired by loss of health or functional ability. In the second half of the century, after the second world war, increasing affluence combined with a more demanding view of the responsibilities of government to improve the generosity of pensions and to expand welfare systems in ways that conferred other benefits on their older populations besides a basic pension income, including the provision of social care (eg care homes for older people who had no family and were unable to look after themselves in their own homes). Policy was still broadly conceived as a collective response to age-related losses that undermined independence.When population ageing–a result of falling fertility, lengthening life expectancy and differential cohort size-appeared on the policy horizon, governments were forced to reconsider not only the sustainability of existing arrangements for age-related entitlements, but also the narrow focus of policy on remedies for age-related losses. It became increasingly apparent that policies for older people had to be more ambitious in their scope. In order to achieve sustainability for public pensions and
