The population in Finland is one of Europe's oldest populations. Population ageing creates health, economic and social effects that emerge over time. To understand and monitor these effects, a longitudinal data and applicable methods are required. We apply funding to collect the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement (SHARE) data in Finland. SHARE is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) and it has provided multidisciplinary and cross-national longitudinal data on changing health, the economic and social living conditions of European citizens aged 50 and over since 2004. Users now have access to 530 000 interviews of individuals from 28 countries in Europe, including Israel. Finland joined SHARE in 2016. Waves 7,8 and 9 (Corona Surveys) of SHARE data have been collected in Finland, and the planning of wave 10 data collection is under way. This application concerns the funding to cover the operational expenditures of wave 11 SHARE data collection in Finland.
