Spain: Promoting the Welfare of Older Adults in the Context of Population Aging

Abstract: Spain is one of the European countries with the most significant societal changes in the 21st century contributing to an aging population, in particular, high life expectancy coupled with low fertility, which will result in a doubling of the old-age dependency ratio. Demographic aging implies important challenges that affect the lives of people, families, the economy, public finances, and the reorganization of the health and social systems. Currently, the older population has become particularly vulnerable due… Show more

“…Sin embargo, y aunque en España el tipo de apoyo mayoritario es de naturaleza informal, la externalización del cuidado mediante la utilización de servicios públicos o privados es cada vez más habitual (Spijker y Zueras, 2016). Factores como el aumento de la longevidad y el cambio en la estructura de la discapacidad (Gómez Redondo y Fernández-Carro, 2015;Serrano et al, 2014), la reducción del tamaño de los hogares (Isengard y Szydlik, 2012) o la incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral (Cebrián y Moreno, 2008) hacen que las redes de apoyo tiendan a ser más amplias y heterogéneas, no únicamente familiares, caracterizándose por una mayor diversidad y bidireccionalidad de los flujos de apoyo (Quilodrán y Puga, 2011).…”

“…However, the outsourcing of care through the use of public or private services has become increasingly common, although the majority of the Spanish population use informal support (Spijker and Zueras, 2016). Factors such as the increase in longevity and the change in the structure of disability (Gómez Redondo and Fernández-Carro, 2015;Serrano et al, 2014), the reduction in the size of households (Isengard and Szydlik, 2012 ), and the entry of women into the labour market (Cebrián and Moreno, 2008) have meant that support networks tend to be broader and more heterogeneous, consisting of family members characterised by a greater diversity and bidirectional support flows (Quilodrán and Puga, 2011).…”

“…Demographic and social changes are leading to an increase in the population living in a state of dependency. The INE, through studies conducted on Spanish demographics, shows that the dependency rate among those over 65 years of age has been growing over the past 10 years (Serrano et al 2014). In 2006, the dependency rate was 24.52%, and in 2016, this value increased to 28.74%.…”

“…An inverted population pyramid is predicted for 2050 (Jackson, Initiative, and Plan, 2011;Serrano et al, 2014). The proportion varies from one country to another: more than 23% of the population will be over 65 in Japan and in the US, and 17.9% of the population will be over 65 in Europe (CIA, 2010).…”
