DEVELOPING AN ISRAELI VERSION OF THE HRS/SHARE PROJECT

描述（由申请人提供）：目标是在目前正在11个欧洲国家进行的欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查（SHARE）的框架内建立一个以色列分析队列。SHARE正在实施一个多学科、跨国和纵向数据收集结构，以便对老龄人口的动态进行深入分析。在SHARE项目一开始就纳入以色列数据将允许系统地考虑以色列背景下的独特因素，这些因素可以丰富不断发展的SHARE框架，并为美国正在进行的HRS数据收集工作提供信息。具体而言，以色列的数据将允许检查退休和养老金政策改革的相互作用，老年人因接触移民，战争和恐怖而遭受的创伤性生活轨迹，明显的文化和种族多样性，以及相对平等的性别长寿。拟议的以色列SHARE项目将利用：1）为SHARE开发的基于CAPI的调查工具（翻译并改编为讲希伯来语、阿拉伯语和俄语的以色列老年人使用），2）与调查研究中心一起为SHARE开发的样本管理系统，3）蒂尔堡大学CentERdata开发的数据收集、传输和处理机制。以色列的SHARE调查将从1500个家庭的样本中收集所有50岁及以上的人的基线数据，并从符合年龄条件的受访者的配偶收集基线数据，无论年龄如何。受人力资源统计学启发的调查工具涉及人口统计学、身体健康、行为风险、认知功能、心理健康、医疗保健、就业和养老金、国内生产总值强度、步行速度、儿童、社会支持、财政转移、住房、家庭收入、消费、资产和期望。在拟议的以色列SHARE项目中收集的数据将通过SHARE网站提供给研究人员，同时提供来自参与SHARE的国家的数据，以便进行跨国比较和其他分析。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective is to establish an Israeli analytic cohort within the framework of the HRS-inspired Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) currently being constructed in eleven European nations. SHARE is implementing a multidisciplinary, cross-national and longitudinal data collection structure that allows for in-depth analysis of the dynamics of aging populations. Inclusion of Israeli data at the inception of the SHARE project will allow systematic consideration of unique factors from the Israeli context that can enrich the evolving SHARE framework and inform the ongoing HRS data collection efforts in the United States. Specifically, the Israeli data will allow examination of the interaction of reforms in retirement and pension policy, traumatic life trajectories of older adults due to exposure to immigration, war and terror, pronounced cultural and ethnic diversity, and relatively gender-equal longevity. The proposed Israeli SHARE project will utilize: 1) the CAPI-based survey instrument developed for SHARE (translated and adapted for Hebrew, Arabic and Russian speaking Israeli older-adults), 2) the sample management system developed for SHARE in conjunction with the Survey Research Center and 3) the data collection, transmission and handling mechanisms developed by CentERdata at the University of Tilburg. The Israeli SHARE survey will collect baseline data from all people age 50 and over in a sample of 1500 households, and from the spouse of the age-eligible respondent regardless of age. The HRS-inspired survey instrument addresses demographics, physical health, behavioral risk, cognitive function, mental health, health care, employment and pensions, gdp strength, walking speed, children, social support, financial transfers, housing, household income, consumption, assets and expectations. Data collected in the proposed Israeli SHARE project will be made available to researchers via the SHARE website, alongside the data from the participating SHARE countries, for the purpose of facilitating cross-national comparisons and other analyses.
