OXFORD INSTITUTE OF AGEING Oxford Institute of Ageing 1. Intro: From ‚Socialist‘ to ‚Ageing‘ Societies • 2009 = 20 th Anniversary of the “Velvet Revolution” / “Peaceful Revolution” in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 1989 • Since 1989, CEE has been undergoing transformation from ‘statesocialist’ societies / planned economies ‘free’ societies / market economies • Rapid process of re-organisation of social institutions (Worldbank / IMF ‘shock therapy’) • Their people were unprepared for these changes • Dramatic changes of people’s lives, including: devaluation of degrees / qualifications mass unemployment (unemployment previously unknown) poverty / social exclusion detoriating health care provision (former Soviet Union) widening gulf between rich and poor
OXFORD INSTITUTE OF AGEING Oxford Institute of Ageing 1. Intro: From ‚Socialist‘ to ‚Ageing‘ Societies (2) Uncertainty, insecurity Did people change their behaviour / take different decisions? Mass emigration of young Eastern Europeans to Western Europe, North America, Australia, etc. Young people in CEE stopped having children (postponement)! Until today, little attention paid to causes of this extraordinary fertility decline (Caldwell & Schindlmayr 2003) 1. Is there population ageing in CEE? 2. Is there a link between post-communist transformation and population ageing? This paper argues that population ageing in Central and Eastern Europe is an (unintended) outcome of the socio-economic insecurity in the wake of the transformation of the CEE planned economies to market economies.
