Prevalence of the Frailty Phenotype in community-dwelling population aged 50 and over in the survey of health, ageing and retirement in Europe

A) The main purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of the frailty and intermediate states in the community-dwelling European population aged 50 and over. B) The second objective was to compare the frailty prevalence in the European population with previous studies in other population. C) The third aim was to determine and comment the difference of the frailty prevalence between the European countries participating in the SHARE study. D) The last aim was to determine the proportion of the frailty European population without disability in basic activities of daily living. This was attempted by using the questionnaire and the physical tests of the SHARE study.

Among the manifold domains in which individuals with a migration background may face disadvantages, we focus on labour market re-integration because it has been proven to be a key factor in fostering long-term social integration into the host country. Although empirical evidence for discriminatory practices by employers is generally difficult to provide with registry data, our design minimises potential alternative explanations. Our study benefits from a unique dataset combining registry and survey data, which were collected in the Swiss Canton of Vaud among all newly unemployed individuals between February and April 2012. The findings are based on real labour market behaviour and show that when controlling for encompassing information on human and social capital and other employability criteria, individuals whose provenance is from outside the European Union face periods of unemployment that are up to 50% (or 3 months) longer than those of Swiss natives. Surprisingly, observable assimilation proofs in the form of naturalisation or birth in the host country do not improve labour market re-integration. We explain this finding by employers’ discriminatory hiring behaviour
