Накратко на български

Социалното включване и самотата се изследват чрез проверка на специални скали за измерване при възрастни в Португалия. Това е важно, защото застаряването на населението и промените в семействата изискват по-добра взаимна подкрепа между поколенията.

How changing social contexts shape solidarity and adjustment between generations

What is the problem/issue being addressed? In less than four decades more than one third of the population in Europe will be aged over 60 and one quarter will be older than 65. The increase in the number and proportion of older people in the UK population aged 65 and over has grown by 47% since mid-1974 to make up nearly 18% of the total population in mid-2014, while the number of people aged 75 and over has increased by 89% and now makes up 8% of the population. In the case of Portugal, the proportion aged 60-plus will be one of the most highly aged EU countries by 2025. Why is it important for society? These unprecedent demographic changes, combined with changes in family structures, norms and behaviours along with the current economic crisis that is affecting particularly south Europe, pose significant challenges to individuals, families and societies and place solidarity – one of the most important family and social resources that influences wellbeing – and the need of adjustment between generations as a priority in European states. What are the overall objectives? The overall objectives of the project were to identify new measures of social inclusion and loneliness. The aim of the research was firstly to validate the Portuguese language version of the full and shortened versions of the Social Inclusion Scale in a sample of adults, by establishing its internal consistency, convergent validity and test-retest reliability. If the measure demonstrates its suitability for use in this population, this will add to the evidence base for the Social Inclusion Scale and contribute towards establishing a “gold-standard” measure of social inclusion.

Цел на проекта

The sustainability of the welfare state in which the state plays a key role in the promotion of solidarity, integration and wellbeingof its citizens may be compromised due to the current economic crisis and unprecent demographic changes. Thecombination of these pressures with new family forms, pose significant challenges to individuals, families and societies andplace solidarity and adjustment between generations as a priority in European states, arguably more important today than inearlier decades, as people live longer and share more years with younger generations. The aim of this proposal is toinvestigate how the social context, from macro-societal to micro-interpersonal, affects intergenerational solidarity andimportant indicators of adjustment between generations in two economically and culturally distinct countries: Portugal andUK. The project seeks to examine: national (e.g., policies), regional (e.g. economic circumstances), family (e.g. transfers upand down family lineages) and individual-level relationships (e.g., wellbeing). Mixed-methods will be used to facilitate anintegrated approach from macrosocietal to individual variables and enable empirical-base and sound policy making. Asynthesis of the findings will focus on the levels of context that can be powerful in shaping inequalities in intergenerationalsolidarity, well-being and social integration and on the implications for programmes and policies. The strong theory-drivennature of the project, the candidate profile, the international mobility and working in a world-renowned centre of excellencewith the support from a dynamic multidisciplinary team representing a wide range of substantive, methodological and policyexpertise, are key factors for the project’s impact and candidate career development, skills acquisition and diversification.The project and the candidate career will also benefit from the input and initiatives funded by ongoing topic-related projects(e.g., Cost ActionIS1311)
