More about the book
Focusing on economic vulnerability among older adults, the book presents an interdisciplinary analysis that combines insights from happiness studies, economics, and stress research. Utilizing empirical data from a sample of 1,500 Swiss adults aged 65-84, it identifies three overlapping groups of pensioners facing economic challenges. The research distinguishes between objective poverty and subjective perceptions of financial strain, leading to a typology of eight distinct profiles of economic vulnerability. This framework highlights varying degrees of agency in coping with financial difficulties.
