Abstract

This paper proposes comparative research on support provided outside the household by older adults in Europe. In studying social support, the network perspective is widely used, investigating, in particular, the ego-centered support networks of individuals. The analysis is based on data from Wave 7 of the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). It examines the characteristics of ego-support networks of individuals aged 65 and over in 12 European countries, which are grouped into a novel welfare regime typology. Through Multiple Correspondence Analysis, we jointly looked into the categorical variables describing the recipients (alters) of the support provided by older adults and the welfare regime classification. As a main result, countries grouped in "High degree of familialism by default" category specialized in supporting family-related alters, particularly with childcare or personal care. In contrast, the elders in countries belonging to "High degree of de-familialisation" typology provided a more varied but less demanding support, to non-relatives alters and less oriented to care. The analyses show that the SHARE provides a solid opportunity to face the topic.

哪些国家提供哪些支持?欧洲老年人的模式。
本文建议对欧洲老年人在家庭以外提供的支持进行比较研究。在研究社会支持时,网络视角被广泛应用,特别是调查以自我为中心的个人支持网络。本文基于欧洲健康、老龄和退休调查(SHARE)第 7 波的数据进行分析。它研究了 12 个欧洲国家 65 岁及以上个人的自我支持网络的特征,并将其归类为一种新的福利制度类型。通过多重对应分析,我们共同研究了描述老年人所提供支持的接受者(改变者)的分类变量和福利制度分类。主要结果是,归入 "默认的高度家庭主义 "类别的国家专门支持与家庭有关的替代者,尤其是儿童保育或个人护理。与此相反,属于 "高度去家庭化 "类型的国家的长者为非亲属替代者提供的支持更加多样,但要求不高,也不太注重照顾。分析表明,SHARE 提供了一个面对这一主题的可靠机会。

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Ageing: Social, Behavioural and Health Perspectives is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the understanding of ageing in European societies and the world over. EJA publishes original articles on the social, behavioral and population health aspects of ageing and encourages an integrated approach between these aspects. Emphasis is put on publishing empirical research (including meta-analyses), but conceptual papers (including narrative reviews) and methodological contributions will also be considered. EJA welcomes expert opinions on critical issues in ageing. By stimulating communication between researchers and those using research findings, it aims to contribute to the formulation of better policies and the development of better practice in serving older adults. To further specify, with the term ''social'' is meant the full scope of social science of ageing related research from the micro to the macro level of analysis. With the term ''behavioural'' the full scope of psychological ageing research including life span approaches based on a range of age groups from young to old is envisaged. The term ''population health-related'' denotes social-epidemiological and public health oriented research including research on functional health in the widest possible sense.
