Summary
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) is a representative survey on the life circumstances of the population aged 50+ in 27 European countries and Israel. Its multidisciplinary and international approach make SHARE the ideal setting for analysing the consequences of the pandemic. This contribution outlines the central results of the SHARE Corona Survey regarding health, economic and social consequences of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic and of the political containment measures for the life circumstances of the older part of the European population.
