Du rapport Laroque à la loi relative à l’adaptation de la société au vieillissement : cinquante-cinq ans de politique vieillesse en France | delziniy | La misE En oeuvrE des politiques sociales destinées explicitement à « traiter » la problématique du vieillissement remonte, en Europe, à la fin du xixe siècle et au début du xxe siècle. directement liée à la naissance et à l’affirmation des états-nations, elle répondait à deux grandes préoccupations: – démographique, tout d’abord : les états-nations européens avaient besoin, pour s’affirmer, d’une démographie dynamique et le vieillissement – sociaux, ensuite : la nécessité d’un encadrement des dispositifs spontanés de solidarité mis en place dans le monde ouvrier – sociétés de secours mutuels, caisses de solidarité – a amené les états-nations à légiférer. L’allemagne de Bismarck fut pionnière et les systèmes « bismarckiens » de protection sociale diffusèrent dans un certain nombre de pays européens, dont la france. ils furent ensuite concurrencés par les systèmes « beveridgiens », apparus en 1942 en Grande-Bretagne. L’Europe est désormais partagée entre les deux types de système, avec une tendance forte à l’hybridation. |

However, the number of retirees per worker has been increasing in recent years and economic security for the elderly looms on the horizon as one of the region’s most significant strategic challenges. |
