The demographic and socio-economic situation of the elderly in the Netherlands. An overview.
This article aims to give a brief overview of the actual demographic and socio-economic situation of the elderly in the Netherlands. In view of the fact that the ageing process is still in a comparatively early phase, but will gain momentum during the course of the next century, attention is also paid to future developments. In addition, issues which are related to research on the elderly and on an ageing society, are discussed within the framework of Dutch research activities in the field of demography.
