Since it was first founded in 1945, INED has played a pioneering role in developing household surveys as an instrument of sociological and demographic knowledge. For this purpose, INED has built up a specialized surveys department which oversees data collection for projects conducted by INED researchers and, increasingly, in partnership with other institutions (INSEE, INSERM, InVS, etc.). Among the most recent or on-going surveys, several deal with ageing ...
The health of the population is measured through surveys of a representative sample of the population who are asked about their health. These self-administered surveys provide a picture of people’s own perception of their health, through various questions about how they feel in general and any diseases, disabilities or incapacity they have.
Disability-free life expectancy is measured by a combination of mortality and disability indicators in order to take account of the "quality" of the years of life. Indicators of healthy life expectancy combine mortality and health data. They indicate the average number of years of life spent in good health and in poor health within total life expectancy, given the mortality and health conditions of the moment. ...
G Bellis, N Brouard, MH Cazes, E Cambois, F Meslé, A Parant, JM Robine As well as anticipating care needs for dependent people, it is important to analyse the mechanisms that lead to dependency and to identify the determinants that cause some people to require assistance while others are able to maintain a satisfactory level of activity. Within this framework, our research seeks to break down the process ...
N Brouard, E Cambois, A Désesquelles, JM Robine In addition to their work on health, incapacity and disability, INED’s researchers contribute to methodological work and participate in the production of data. They look at what the indicators used in the surveys actually measure, as well as their limitations and biases. They also develop techniques for analysing the data collected.
France Meslé et Jacques Vallin The increase in life expectancy prompts us to investigate the mechanisms underlying the decrease in mortality, especially at the most advanced ages. In the 1960s, trends in life expectancy at birth began to diverge strongly between industrial countries. The mechanisms of those divergences can only be understood through a close analysis of the trends in age- and cause-specific mortality. Precise knowledge of changing ...
Nicolas Brouard, France Meslé, Jean-Marie Robine, Jacques Vallin For several decades now, the increase in life expectancy has resulted mainly from a decline in mortality at old ages. Individuals now die only rarely from infectious diseases that were previously highly lethal, especially at young ages. Today deaths are increasingly concentrated at the highest ages (currently around 80) and future life expectancy gains now depend almost exclusively on pushing ...
Magali Barbieri, Aline Désesquelles, France Meslé, Laurent Toulemon, Jacques Vallin The differences in mortality trends observed between countries can only be understood by analysing the medical causes of death. This can be done by using existing databases, such as the World Health Organisation’s mortality database. This offers access to a large number of countries for general analyses. However, these can only be summary because the data are ...
One of the important issues of population ageing is the future of pension systems and their long-term financial sustainability. In most countries, pensions currently represent a high percentage of retirees’ income. Numerous reforms are underway to adapt existing systems to changing demographic trends (longer life expectancy, retirement of the large baby-boomer cohorts, changing family and marital structures) and economic trends (increase in unemployment, diversification of labour-force pathways, ...
