Abstract

In this work we analyze the vulnerability of people aged 50+ living in 11 European Countries, taking into account for two aspects: a physical-economic dimension and a social one. Data come from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and refer to the Covid-19 period, that is 2019-2020. Results show a geographical path of vulnerability: Mediterranean Countries register the higher vulnerability, especially in the Economic-Health domain.
