Looking Forward to a Dynamic Third Age - Spanish Survey Report

The objective of the study is to offer a wide perspective of the situation based on the active and retired population. The study established the carrying out of the survey to 3,000 aged people in total as a minimum, being the universe used in the surveys people over 50 years old of both genders and resident in the three associated countries. Surveys were sent to more than 9,000 stakeholders. The period comprised the months of March and April of 2015. The survey’s target groups were selected from different stakeholders: academic and administrative staff of the University of Alicante, alumni from the Permanent University of the University of Alicante, senior alumni associations, and other third-age university programmes –as well as representatives of trade unions and professionals from public and private enterprises. The survey was conducted online after a previous information campaign that promoted the objectives of this project. The campaign was also published in the media and in social networks. All in all, a total of 1,391 50-year old and older people participated in the project, of whom 558 were still active and 833 retirees. Therefore, the response rate was situated around 15.5%. The aim of the survey was to elicit the differences of opinion between active and retired people. The answers were given anonymously and were differentiated into two target groups: retired/ early retired people and active people. The survey filled in by the retired/ early retired people consisted of 45 questions whereas the one directed to active people was made up of 40 questions. Among the questions the study dealt with, the different attitudes towards the preparation for retirement are included, as well as the function that the governments and firms execute when providing support to retirement

Looking Forward to a Dynamic Third Age - Spanish Mapping Report

The population analysis presented here has been performed on the Spanish population as a whole and, in nearly all cases, whenever it was possible for us, also on the differential demographic evolution of the Alicante province. The data used were obtained from the INE (Spanish initials for National Statistics Institute), basically from the aspects included in Demography and Population (singularly, Population and Household Projection, Ongoing Municipal Register Statistics, Population Censuses, Population Natural Movement and Basic Demographic Indicators; and we have also resorted to the Active Population Survey at some stage). No special mention has been made of the migratory movements which, despite their importance and decisiveness during the last decade, have seen their influence on the population as a whole reflected on all the remaining demographic magnitudes (population growth, greater or lesser ageing degree, contribution to birth rate) and, especially, because the medium-term projections may strongly fluctuate, as it can be easily verified through the analysis of the last few years. We have nearly always resorted to the projections available until 2028-29 because almost all of them can refer both to the whole of Spain and to the specific area that we are dealing with, the Alicante province, whereas those available until 2064 only refer to Spain as a whole and, moreover, they are practically a sort of continuation of the medium-term data available

National Report of Face-to-Face and e-learning implementation of the PPS educational programme for seniors

The final assessment of the PPS pilots and the e-learning educational programmes as well as the Peer-to-Peer approach to training for active ageing have proved successful and a high-impact learning method for seniors in our case (Alicante-UPUA). From our educational and psychoeducational perspective, and in our capacity as an institution specialised in senior training, we have implemented all the aforementioned aspects to ensure the success of the PPS project pilot actions and we have been able to achieve the desired outcome and impact. It all meant an added source of learning and especially from the specific perspective of our cultural and sociodemographic context which has even more strongly determined the lines to be improved and implemented in Alicante

Face to Face Educational Program for Active Ageing

Education Peer to Peer - through personal contact - can be interpreted as a process through which well-trained and motivated facilitators educate participants of (mainly) the same age, social position or have the same ability as the latter, with the aim to further develop parti and knowledge. The emphasis is on understanding of the concept of active ageing, desires and needs of the target group in terms of acquiring new skills and improving physical and mental health. Educational program for active ageing, presented in this publication, is taking place at two levels: a) the classical method (learning in class/group) with guidelines and implementation plan of activities summarized in this publication, and b) distant educational program (virtual classroom), which will be freely available online and thus accessible to the widest number of people

Looking Forward to a Dynamic Third Age - Awareness Campaign

The campaign focuses on the level of awareness about the possibilities and capabilities of society as a whole and especially of the social segment formed by over-50s (as individuals) to prepare for retirement and for the entry into the third age by means of lifelong learning. Another of the main objectives is to offer strategies about how to stay active during this new stage of life

National Report on Active Ageing Practices - Spain

The current study aims to support the development of useful and desired methods for active ageing education in the respective local communities across the EU for older adults aged 55+. The PPS project will develop a face-to-face training programme (30 hours) on active ageing and an e-learning training (11 modules). The main research questions of this study are: What is active ageing education and how responsive are older adults to active ageing education? How can active ageing trainings/courses be integrated into local communities? Spain is currently one of the pioneering countries in the field of active ageing. Thanks to scientific breakthroughs, to the high quality of public healthcare and to the development of social policies, Spanish citizens live longer and with a better quality of life, due to which seniors have grown in number, enjoy an improved health condition, are more participative and, therefore, are expected to play a more relevant role in society. Today’s older adults are largely active and healthy; they look after themselves in order to stay independent and autonomous as long as possible, and they also demand social space and voice
