AMANDA: Advanced Multidisciplinary Analysis of New Data on Ageing   This EU-sponsored RTD project uses advanced multivariate analysis to better understand ageing, health and retirement using the new data collected in SHARE and its older sister surveys ELSA and HRS. Main aim of these analyses is to develop policy tools in the field of ageing. Specifically, we will conduct statistical and econometric analyses of individual behavioural responses to public policies influencing active and healthy ageing, health care services utilisation, retirement, and social participation. Based on the results, we will develop indicators for key concepts relevant to EU policy such as retirement incentives, savings adequacy, well-being and disability status of the elderly.
