Sustainable Welfare: Rethinking the roles of Family, Market and State

可持续发展WELL致力于解决人口老龄化对欧洲社会的长期社会经济影响。“可持续福祉”的目标是确定：（i）更长和健康的预期寿命以及一般银经济带来的机会;（ii）个人和家庭的弹性反应（在市场和非市场结果方面）以及面临老龄化挑战的社会其他行为者;（三）老龄化对不平等的影响（包括代内和代间），认识到社会凝聚力对于应对老龄化挑战至关重要; ㈣性别和生命周期平衡的政策，帮助第二代人养活即将退休的婴儿潮一代，同时不降低生育率或教育投资。将特别注意职业设计在促进劳动力市场代际互补方面的作用。为了更好地理解长寿的好处，可持续健康将采取全面的观点：a）调查生命周期中沿着的关键终身决策的行为反应（教育、技能、生育率、工作努力、家庭生产、储蓄和退休）和决策过程本身导致亲社会行为;以及B）说明沿着生命周期提供福利的三种方式（市场、家庭和福利国家）。这两个方面将通过扩展国民转移账户方法（使用可比的欧盟数据集）进行分析，将其作为动态微观模拟比较模型的投入，量化老龄化社会的未来。可持续健康教育将在不同的基础科学（神经科学）和社会科学（经济学，人口统计学，社会学和政治学）中采取新的多学科方法。可持续发展WELL的成果将通过与利益相关者的长期接触来实现，通过应用参与式设计和共同创造活动来提供基于知识和证据的政策措施。

SUSTAINWELL addresses the long-term socio-economic impact of population ageing on European society. SUSTAINWELL aims will be to identify: (i) opportunities arising from longer and healthy life expectancy and in general from the silver economy; (ii) resilient responses from individuals and households (in market and non-market outcomes) and from other actors in society facing the challenges posed by ageing; (iii) the impact of ageing on inequality (both within and between generations), knowing that social cohesion is crucial to face the ageing challenge; (iv) gender and lifecycle balanced policies helping the sandwich-generation to sustain baby-boomers entering retirement, without decreasing fertility nor investment in education. Particular attention will be devoted to the role of job design to foster intergenerational complementarities in the labour market. To better understand the benefits of living longer, SUSTAINWELL will take a holistic perspective by: a) investigating the behavioural reactions in key lifetime decisions along the lifecycle (education, skills, fertility, work effort, home production,savings and retirement) and the decision processitself leading to prosocial behaviour; and b) accounting for the three ways to provide welbeing along the lifecycle (market, family and welfare state). Both dimensions will be analyzed by extending the National Transfer Accounts method (using comparable EU datasets) to be incorporated as inputs in a dynamic microsimulation comparative model quantifying the future of ageing societies. SUSTAINWELL will take a new multidisciplinary approach in different basic (Neuroscience) and social sciences (Economics, Demographics, Sociology and Political Science). SUSTAINWELL’s results will be pursued in permanent contact with stakeholders, to deliver knowledge and evidence-based policy measures by applying a participatory design and co-creation activities.
