Views on Ageing Well held by Turkish Migrants in the Netherlands
No full textQuality of life of elderly Turkish migrants in The Netherlands is often perceived as lower than that of elderly without a migration background. In order to develop initiatives to improve quality of life for Turkish migrants, more understanding is needed of what Turkish migrants consider important aspects of aging well.
For this exploratory research project, data were collected among middle-aged and older Turkish-born people residing in the Netherlands about what they perceive as important for ageing well. Data were collected among people who were born in Turkey, living in the Netherlands, and at least 40 years old. 27 participants meeting these criteria were recruited through the personal networks of the researchers, and through word-of-mouth referrals. Data collection took place in 2021 and 2022.

The More the Merrier? The Causal Effect of High Fertility on Later-Life Loneliness in Eastern Europe
No full textLevels of later-life loneliness are high in Eastern Europe. We assess whether having more children is protective against later-life loneliness for Eastern-European mothers and fathers. Drawing on Generations and Gender Surveys data of 25,479 parents aged 50–80 from eight Eastern-European countries, we adopt an instrumental approach exploiting parents’ preference for mixed-sex offspring to estimate the causal effect of having additional children on feelings of loneliness. We find that having an additional child has a causal protective effect against loneliness for mothers. Ordinary least squares regression models also show a weak but statistically significant negative association between number of children and later-life loneliness among fathers. However, results of the instrumental variable analyses are inconclusive for this group. We thus do not find statistically significant causal evidence that having an additional child is protective against loneliness for fathers. Our results underline the importance of addressing reverse causality and selection bias when investigating the links between number of children and later-life loneliness, particularly among women. The causal evidence presented here suggests that the trend towards families with fewer children noted in several Eastern-European countries may place new cohorts of older Eastern-Europeans, and in particular Eastern-European women, at risk of stronger feelings of loneliness

Gray divorce and mental health in the United Kingdom
No full textThe number of older people who experience marital break-up has increased in many Western countries. However, limited empirical attention has been given to the study of the consequences of later-life divorce or separation. Previous studies on gray divorce are often cross-sectional and tend to capture a mix of short- and long-term effects of divorce and possibly selection effects into divorce. Drawing on data from nine waves of the UK Household Longitudinal Study (2009/2010-2017/2018), we analyze the effect of marital break-up on the mental health of 909 adults aged 50 or over to test the crisis model and the chronic strain model of divorce. We use fixed effects linear regression models to account for time-invariant confounders and distinguish between pre- and post-divorce effects. Our results indicate that older adults' depressive symptoms (GHQ) increase in the years before and upon union dissolution. After separation, depressive symptoms decrease and return to approximately previous baseline levels. Our analyses on heterogeneity in the effects of gray divorce show that post-divorce adjustment is faster for childless adults than for parents. We find no evidence that adjustment after gray divorce is slower for women than for men, or for persons who already experienced a prior union dissolution than for those who separate for the first time. The results are consistent with the crisis model of divorce but in contrast with the chronic strain model of divorce. Older adults are able to adjust to marital break-up, and their fertility histories tend to moderate the negative effect of later-life divorce on mental health

Op ons bedrijf, ooit door mijn grootouders begonnen als gemengd bedrijf op de zandgrond hier, houden we nu vleesvee, en daarnaast ontvangen we groepen en hebben we een goedlopende boerderijwinkel, waar we naast ons eigen vlees ook producten van biologische boeren uit de regio verkopen.
