Rezensionen

"A 'must-read' for active politicians and policymakers. ... The Future of Ageing in Europe. Making an Asset of Longevity is organised in a different way. The reader will find that it covers a variety of, often unrelated, fields. ... The book is full of prognoses and predictions grounded in current knowledge and research. The research results are presented clearly and are well summarised in tables and charts, which enable reader easily to familiarise themselves with the presented data and results." (Radoslaw Medrzycki, European Journal of Social Security, Vol. 21 (4), 2019)
