“…The study employs a quantitative approach, using data from the second, fourth and fifth ‘waves’ of SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe), conducted between 2006 and 2013 among people aged 50+ in 13 European countries and in Israel. SHARE was established as a longitudinal study meant to shed light on the changing demographic, health and economic trends in Europe (Achdut et al, (2015); Katz et al, 2015; Tur‐Sinai & Litwin, 2015; Lowenstein et al, 2019; Tur‐Sinai et al, 2019b). Within this ambit, men and women aged 50+ as well as their spouses were interviewed (Axelrad & Tur‐Sinai, 2020; Shuldiner et al, 2020; Silverstein et al, 2020; Tur‐Sinai et al, 2019a; Tur‐Sinai & Lewin‐Epstein, 2020).…”

Objective: Cancer imposes a substantial economic burden on society, health and social care systems, patients and their families. This study aims to examine the out-ofpocket spending of cancer patients in their last year of life, in six countries with health insurance system hat have a defined benefits package. Methods: Data from SHARE and SHARE End-of-Life surveys among people aged +50 were analysed. Family members of deceased persons were interviewed in order to learn about the circumstances of their relative's death. Results: The average out-of-pocket spending for health and social services during the last year of life was 4.5% of the total household income, 2.2% in the Netherlands, 4.3% in Israel, 5% in Germany, 5.1% in Austria, 5.1% in Belgium and 8.2% in Switzerland. Whereas the out-of-pocket spending on nursing home care was 7.8% of the total household income in Switzerland, in the Netherlands and in Israel it was negligible. In contrast, the out-of-pocket spending for home care due to disability surged to 5.6% in Israel and 3.7% in Austria, whereas in other countries it was very low. Conclusion: This information is important to health and social policymakers, in order to better adapt the benefits package to the patients' needs.

“…SHARE is a cross‐national panel database that yields information on a wide range of variables among persons aged 50+, including socioeconomic, social‐environment, physical functioning, and health behaviors. The data collected by SHARE offer a unique way to compare the health, economic status, and welfare of older people in different European countries over time (Achdut, Tur‐Sinai, & Troitsky, ; Börsch‐Supan et al, ; Katz, Lowenstein, Halperin, & Tur‐Sinai, ; Tur‐Sinai & Litwin, ). The SHARE survey is comprised of an approximately 90‐min structured interview, conducted at the respondent's home by trained interviewers.…”

Joint pain is a common experience among adults aged 65 and over. Although pain management is multifaceted, medication is essential in it. The paper examines the use of medication among older adults with joint pain in Israel and asks whether socioeconomic factors are associated with this usage. The data, harvested, from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), include 1,294 randomly selected community‐dwelling individuals aged 65 and over in Israel. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression are used to identify factors associated with the presence of joint pain medication use. About 38% of respondents report experiencing joint pain and 45% of those who so report are not taking prescription medication. Back pain is the most common location, reported by 64% of individuals who report joint pain. Taking medication is independently associated with younger age (OR = 0.965, 95% CI = 0.939–0.991), more education (OR = 1.044, 95% CI = 0.998–1.091), and better ability to cope economically (OR = 1.964, 95% CI = 1.314–2.936). However, older age and ability to cope economically are independently associated with women (OR = 0.964, 95% CI = 0.932–0.998 and OR = 2.438, 95% CI = 1.474–4.032, respectively) but not with men. It is suggested that socioeconomic inequality exists in healthcare access among adults aged 65 and over. Since income and gender are strongly associated with taking pain medication, physicians should follow‐up on women and less affluent people to ensure that medication prescribed has been obtained. Policymakers should consider programs that would facilitate better access to pain medication among vulnerable older individuals.

“…This study is based on the SHARE, a multidisciplinary and cross-national longitudinal survey of persons aged 50 years and older (Achdut, Tur-Sinai, & Troitsky, 2015). The micro data collected by SHARE allow us to compare the dynamics of health, economic situation, and welfare of older people in different European countries over time (Katz et al, 2015), thus providing a valuable support for evidence-based policy making to address population aging-related challenges (Börsch-Supan et al, 2013).…”

Objective: Our article aims to investigate changes in the rate of informal care provision, which occurred in Israel and Italy in the last decade. In addition, we analyze typology and magnitude of the main factors contributing to explain the probability of providing informal care. Method: We used data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) at two selected time points (2006/2007 and 2015). Results: The probability of offering social support to elder family members who live outside the household has been trending down substantially over the years. The likelihood of providing unpaid care is significantly higher when one performs volunteer or charitable work and/or engages in leisure activities, and the importance of these two variables has been growing over the years. Discussion: Israel and Italy have experienced over the years a remarkable decline in the share of older adults providing informal care. The article helps to identify which factors have been associated with this phenomenon.
