Abstract

In this article, we analyse loneliness trajectories for older people aged 50 or more in selected European countries by gender. We also focus on the relationship between disability and loneliness trajectories. We use three waves of the longitudinal SHARE database. Loneliness trajectories are non-linear, increasing with age for both genders, and have the same shape irrespective of disability status but with different levels of loneliness. Loneliness persistence increases with disability and disability severity, especially for women. Worsening (improving) disability increases (decreases) the risk of loneliness persistence. We build rankings of the country's effects on loneliness persistence by gender. Mediterranean and Eastern European countries have the highest persistence rates, while the lowest rates are in Northern countries.

按性别划分的欧洲老年人孤独感的动态分析

摘要

在本文中，我们按性别分析了选定欧洲国家 50 岁或以上老年人的孤独轨迹。我们还关注残疾与孤独轨迹之间的关系。我们使用三波的纵向SHARE数据库。孤独轨迹是非线性的，随着年龄的增长而增加，无论残疾状况如何，孤独轨迹都具有相同的形状，但孤独程度不同。孤独感的持久性随着残疾和残疾严重程度的增加而增加，尤其是对于女性而言。残疾的恶化（改善）会增加（减少）持续孤独的风险。我们按性别对国家/地区对孤独持久性的影响进行了排名。地中海和东欧国家的持续率最高，而北欧国家的比率最低。
