Abstrakt:

A newly developed tool to measure and promote the potential of the older population in EU countries is the Active Ageing Index (AAI). The index measures the active ageing performance across twenty indicators in four distinct domains with respect to employment, healthy, independent and autonomous living, and to make other unpaid family, social and cultural contributions to the society in a given country. For the construction of aggregation indices in years 2010, 2012 and 2014 one easy aggregation method based on the recommendation of the Expert group was used. The aim of this contribution is to show the differences in active ageing performance of European countries based on AAI when different methods for weights determination and different multi-criteria methods for ranking countries are used. The results of using the different weighting methods for aggregation of indicators and domains are compared and the recommendation for ranking countries is given
