Sommario/riassunto

From the gender equality and social inclusion perspective, this report provides a concise overview of the employment and activity of women and men in the 55–64 age group (i.e. the last 10-year cohort of the working-age population) and of the activity of women and men in the 65–74 age group in the EU Member States, the EEA/EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and three candidate countries (Croatia, the FYROM and Turkey). The programmes available on active ageing and the main policy areas addressed in these countries (such as adjusting age management in workplaces and labour markets, opening job opportunities, retaining and reinserting persons in employment,



offering access to appropriate training and lifelong learning possibilities, promoting volunteer and community work opportunities after retirement, and enabling easier access to active and healthy ageing support services including care for dependent relatives) are examined in order to identify effective strategies for active and healthy ageing.

Sommario/riassunto

"Poorer people live shorter lives and are more often ill than the rich. This disparity has drawn attention to the remarkable sensitivity of health to the social environment. This publication examines this social gradient in health, and explains how psychological and social influences affect physical health and longevity. It then looks at what is known about the most important social determinants of health today, and the role that public policy can play in shaping a social environment that is more conducive to better health. This second edition relies on the most up-to-date sources in its selection and description of the main social determinants of health in our society today. Key research sources are given for each: stress, early life, social exclusion, working conditions, unemployment, social support, addiction, healthy food and transport policy. Policy and action for health need to address the social determinants of health, attacking the causes of ill health before they can lead to problems. This is a challenging task for both decision-makers and public health actors and advocates. This publication provides the facts and the policy options that will enable them to act."--Provided by publisher.
