The aim of the research is to investigate and describe the socio-demographic characteristics
of the population aged 50+, their health status and their preferences regarding insurance and health
policies in countries of the European Union. In addition, it is attempted to compare these
characteristics between countries and to investigate the existence of associations between the
variables outlining the profile of the aging population. In Chapter 1 we present some information on
the European health systems while we also report on the economic crisis and its impact on the
systems and on citizens' health. In Chapter 2 we analyze the definition of aging, we outline the aging
of the population in Greece and Europe, we present data on health expenditure for the elderly and
the cost of disability as well as future prospects. In Chapter 3 we discuss the impact of the recent
financial crisis on Insurance policies and the welfare system in Greece. The fourth chapter lists the
theoretical framework of the analysis, including general information on the SHARE survey. The data
used come from the fifth wave and include fourteen countries: Austria, Germany, Sweden, Holland,
Spain, Italy, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Slovenia, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Estonia and
Luxembourg. There are differences between these countries regarding the choice of insurance
policies and schemes. Respondents in most countries are satisfied with the basic public health system.
The majority is entitled to public pension. In Chapter 5, we examine the impact of sociodemographic
variables, health and other factors on different types of health and long-term insurance policies using
Logistic Regression. Employment status emerges ais a very important factor. We also note that higher
educational attainment and greater economic prosperity play an important role in health.
