The Czech Republic and Slovakia - shared lives with different outcomes
Original language description
The Czech Republic and Slovakia shared a long history, joined in one state as Czechoslovakia, and the current generation of older adults have spent most of their lives in that common country. Yet the now separate countries differ substantially in their positions in the Active Ageing Index, with Slovakia ranking much lower than the Czech Republic. In this article, the causes of the differences between the two countries are researched using a thorough comparison of survey indicator rankings and explained with statistical data and the European Values Study survey. Particular attention is paid to the indicators with the lowest and highest rankings. The results show surprisingly small differences in most indicators. The biggest difference lay in the employment and health situation of older adults, with Slovakia ranking lower. Together, these indicators are very powerful in the overall ranking of the Active Ageing Index.
