This report is the result of fieldwork research conducted under the framework of TAAD ("The Aging African Diasporas: Perspectives from Lombardia"), a project led by Prof. Alice Bellagamba (University of Milano-Bicocca) that for three years has investigated the meanings of aging for members of the Eritrean, Senegalese, and Egyptian diasporas in Lombardy. More specifically, this report explores the results that emerged from semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with 68 people of Eritrean origin (36 women and 32 men) collected in Milan and its province between 2018 and 2020. The great majority of my interlocutors were over 65 years old and moved to Italy between the end of the 1960s and the 1980s, but younger members of the diaspora have been also interviewed to better address how meanings of aging change along generational lines. Since the beginning of the lockdown imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 20201, some of these conversations have been conducted using telephonic or online means of communication. In this report I use pseudonyms and other precautions to guarantee the complete anonymity of my interlocutors.

There are not many books about how people get younger. It doesn't happen very often. But Ageing with Smartphones in Ireland documents a radical change in the experience of ageing.Based on two ethnographies, one within Dublin and the other from the Dublin region, the book shows that people, rather than seeing themselves as old, focus on crafting a new life in retirement. Our research participants apply new ideals of sustainability both to themselves and to their environment. They go for long walks, play bridge, do yoga and keep as healthy as possible. As part of Ireland's mainstream middle class, they may have more time than the young to embrace green ideals and more money to move to energy-efficient homes, throw out household detritus and protect their environment.The smartphone has become integral to this new trajectory. For some it is an intimidating burden linked to being on the wrong side of a new digital divide. But for most, however, it has brought back the extended family and old friends, and helped resolve intergenerational conflicts though facilitating new forms of grandparenting. It has also become central to health issues, whether by Googling information or looking after frail parents. The smartphone enables this sense of getting younger as people download the music of their youth and develop new interests.This is a book about acknowledging late middle age in contemporary Ireland. How do older people in Ireland experience life today?

Demographische Alterung und technischer Fortschritt sind maßgebliche Ursachen für steigende Ausgaben im Gesundheitswesen. Reaktionen hierauf sind zusehends Beitragssatzsteigerungen und Kostendämpfungsmaßnahmen, weshalb der Markt für Gesundheitsgüter seine Wachstumspotenziale nicht voll auszuschöpfen vermag. In dieser Arbeit werden die positiven Aspekte der Gesundheit für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung herausgearbeitet. Darüber hinaus wird das Zusammenspiel von Gesundheit und Bildung analysiert, da Bildung die Rolle eines zentralen Wachstumsmotors zukommt. Eine empirische Untersuchung gibt zudem Aufschluss über die wesentlichen Determinanten eines guten Gesundheitsverhaltens sowie einer guten Gesundheit als Voraussetzung für stetiges Wirtschaftswachstum.
