In this episode of the ODISSEI podcast, we’re joined by Bella Struminskaya to dive into the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Bella explains what SHARE is, why it was created, and the vital role it plays in understanding the lives of older Europeans.

We’ll explore the history of SHARE, what makes this study so valuable for researchers and policymakers, and the challenges it faces moving forward. We also discuss how ODISSEI supports SHARE, and how it connects to other data infrastructures like LISS, CBS microdata, and more.
