DESCRIPTION
This multidisciplinary and eminently practical subject is aimed at getting to know the changes that population ageing is going to have on politics, the economy and society. Throughout the course, these types of questions shall be answered: Can we continue working until over 70? What kind of home care models for dependent elderly people work best in Western countries? How is population ageing affecting the labour market? Is there a generational conflict between young and elderly people? Although population ageing affects all western countries, they are adapting to this process very differently. This divergent reality is a transversal aspect of the subject, in which the countries of Southern, Central and Northern Europe are compared as well as those of the USA.
