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

USTAINWELL解决了人口老龄化对欧洲社会的长期社会经济影响。可持续健康的目标将是确定：(i)更长和健康的预期寿命以及总体上来自银发经济的机会；（ii）面对老龄化带来的挑战的个人和家庭（市场和非市场结果）以及社会其他行动者的弹性反应；（iii）认识到社会凝聚力对应对老龄化挑战至关重要，老龄化对不平等（代内和代间）的影响；（iv）性别和生命周期平衡的政策，帮助“三明治一代”供养即将退休的婴儿潮一代，同时不降低生育率和教育投资。将特别注意工作设计在促进劳动力市场的代际互补性方面的作用。为了更好地理解长寿的好处，SUSTAINWELL将采取一个整体的视角：a)调查整个生命周期中关键生命决策的行为反应（教育、技能、生育、工作努力、家庭生产、储蓄和退休）以及导致亲社会行为的决策过程本身；b)考虑在生命周期中提供福利的三种方式（市场、家庭和福利国家）。这两个维度将通过扩展国家转移账户方法（使用可比较的欧盟数据集）进行分析，将其作为输入纳入动态微观模拟比较模型，量化老龄化社会的未来。SUSTAINWELL将在不同的基础（神经科学）和社会科学（经济学、人口统计学、社会学和政治学）中采用新的多学科方法。SUSTAINWELL的成果将与利益相关者保持长期联系，通过采用参与式设计和共同创造活动，提供知识和基于证据的政策措施。

USTAINWELL 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.
