Gender disparities in health at older ages and their consequences for well-being in Latin America and the Caribbean. Vienna Yearbook of Population Research|Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2021|
No full textWomen live longer but can expect to spend more years in poorer health compared to men. In the context of population aging and declining gender ratios at older ages, there are increasing concerns about how this disadvantage in female health will affect well-being and sustainability, particularly in developing regions that are rapidly aging. Our study compares differences in health expectancies at older ages for men and women in order to assess gender disparities in health.We use data from the Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean to decompose the gender gap into total and age-specific mortality and disability effects in seven cities in the region. Our results show that at older ages, higher disability rates among women reduced the gender gap in healthy life expectancy by offsetting women’s mortality advantage. In addition, we find that women’s mortality advantage decreased almost systematically with age, which reduced the contribution of the mortality effect to the gender gap at older ages. Although the gender gap in health followed a similar pattern across the region, its decomposition into mortality and disability effects reveals that there was substantial variation among cities. Thus, across the region, the implications of the gender gap in health for well-being vary, and the policies aimed at reducing this gap should also differ

The Impact of Policies Influencing the Demography of Age-structured Populations: Lessons from Academies of Sciences
No full textIn this paper, we discuss the role of a diverse set of policies aimed at regulating the numberand age structure of elections on the size and age structure of five European Academies ofSciences, namely the Austrian, Berlin-Brandenburg, Russian and Norwegian academies andthe Royal Society. We show the recent pace of ageing and the degree of variation in policiesacross them and discuss the implications of different policies across these academies,regulating the number of elections and influencing their age structure. We illustrate thepotential effect of different election regimes (fixed vs. linked) and age structures of election(younger vs. older) by contrasting the steady-state and transient dynamics of differentprojections of Full Members in each academy into 2070 and measuring the size and agecompositionaleffect of changing a given policy relative to a status quo policy scenario. Ourfindings suggest that academies with linked intake (i.e., where the size of the academy belowa certain age is fixed and the number of elections is set to the number of members becomingthat age) may be a more efficient approach to curb growth without suffering any ageing tradeoffsrelative to the faster growth of academies electing a fixed number of members per year.We further note that academies need to take into consideration their current age structurebefore enacting this type of intake regime as the potential of (negative) momentum could besizable
Estimates of Global Bilateral Migration Flows by Gender Between 1960 and 2010
No full textMeasures of international migration flows are often limited in both availability andcomparability. This paper aims to address these issues at a global level using anindirect method to estimate country to country migration flows from more readilyavailable bilateral stock data. Estimates are obtained over five and ten-year periodsbetween 1960 and 2010 by gender, providing a comprehensive picture of past migrationpatterns. The estimated total amount of global international migrant flows is shownto generally increase over the 50 year time frame. The intensity of migration flowsover five and ten-year periods fluctuate at around 0.6 and 1.25 percent of the globalpopulation respectively, with a noticeable spike during the 1990-95 period. Genderimbalances in the estimated flows between selected regions were found to exist, suchas recent movements into oil rich Gulf States from South Asia. The sensitivity offlow estimates to alternative input stock and demographic data as well as changes inpolitical geography are explored
