Wave 7
In Wave 7, seven new countries became new members of the longitudinal project (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Romania). SHARE achieved full coverage of all 26 Continental EU Member States, in addition to Switzerland and Israel. Jointly with harmonized data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), pan-European research on effects of our ageing societies and their implications can be extended to all EU countries, providing an observatory of the ongoing reforms of pension and health care systems in Europe. The second special feature of Wave 7 was the collection of retrospective data on life histories in combination with the traditional panel approach of SHARE.
