Analyse life-course welfare interventions with an impact at older ages. Obtain a map of the “geography of retirement” in terms of services, purchasing power and amenities in relation to welfare provisions and for people most at risk of poverty or financial distress. Assess the degree of welfare coverage and any mismatch with impact evaluation. Learn about models of integrated welfare (including occupational pensions and firm-level health insurance) and the North/South gradient. Measure the “pension gap”, i.e. situations of poverty in old age due to lack of resources or lack of information and develop and “integrated model” of saving for retirement and the impact of pension reforms on retirement decisions and on saving decisions for different generations of retirees.
