Older Adults Plan for the Future: Predictors and Psychological Outcomes for Preparing for Old Age
In 2050 over 36% of Europe’s population will be 65-plus years old and half of these will require long-term care (LTC) or paid assistance over their lifetime. We introduce psychological findings on the processes, predictors, and potential outcomes of later life planning, focusing on integrating across multiple disciplines and methodologies.
