WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF ACTIVE AGEING ON GDP PER CAPITA?

Active ageing is a global phenomenon with high influences on GDP per capita evolution. In this context, the aim of our paper is to explain what are the effects of active ageing on GDP per capita in 2006-2016 period. The analysis is carried on panel data and the models are estimated using 9 dependent variables: employment rate of older workers, relative median income ratio, life expectancy, self-reported unmet needs for dental examination, at least upper secondary educational attainment, participation rate in education and training, healthy life years and life expectancy, material deprivation rate, and at risk of poverty rate. The empirical findings led to the conclusion that the variables which are statistic significant and influencing the GDP per capita are employment rate of older workers for men and total, material deprivation rate, and relative median income ratio.
