SHARE / SHARE-France

SHARE (Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) is a European research project looking at health, care, employment and retirement, socio-economic and financial situation, social and family relations, and living and housing conditions from the perspective of the dynamics of ageing.

SHARE is a longitudinal, multidisciplinary, face-to-face European survey of people aged 50 and over, which has been repeated every two years since 2004 in many European countries (28 in the last wave). In the first 8 waves, 140,000 people took part in the survey at least once (9,000 in France), giving a total of 480,000 individual interviews (30,000 in France).

Satellite surveys have also been deployed among the SHARE panel of respondents, to complement or replace the main survey: collection of life histories and living conditions during childhood (SHARELIFE), satellite surveys on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic or a survey on the maintenance of cognitive abilities beyond the age of 65 (SHARE-HCAP).

In France, the scientific and operational management of the SHARE project has been the responsibility of the LEDa-Legos team at the Université Paris Dauphine-PSL since 2012.
