Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2016

The Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2016 approaches population ageing from a more nuanced perspective, emphasising health, life expectancy and behavioural patterns rather than chronological age. It explores innovative measures such as prospective age, which reflects remaining life expectancy, and thanatological age, which is based on years left to live. Contributions analyse ageing in different contexts, from Arctic regions to emerging economies, taking into account health, economic activity and subjective survival expectations. This approach provides a holistic and dynamic perspective on how ageing varies according to health, activity levels and cultural factors, and offers new insights into policy and societal implications.
