Description
Retirement years are often years of change. With increasing life expectancy, retirement is no longer a phase of immobility. New technologies and faster transports have made international mobility easier and as a result, families are often dispersed across countries. In normal times, retirees could therefore be more connected to the world outside, travel more or even settle in a different country than Switzerland.
To provide a better understanding of international mobility linked to the retirement of people who live or lived in Switzerland, the NCCR – on the move conducts the Transnational-Ageing Surveys. The first Transnational-Ageing Survey was conducted in the first half of 2020 providing valuable data for improving the quality of life of retirees who live at least part of the year in Switzerland. Both Swiss and foreign nationals of least 55 years old were invited to participate in the survey.
Participants are mainly asked questions about their life in Switzerland, their past international mobility, their present travels to other countries and their current or future retirement plans. Other topics include family configuration in Switzerland and abroad, health and well-being and overall living conditions.
