Chapter 1Introduction

Henke, Julia

Pages: 1 –3

[This volume proposes to take a fresh look at economic vulnerability among pensioners in Switzerland and to examine the strengths and weaknesses of a series of statistical measures for identifying those individuals who suffer from ‘exceedingly low levels of economic quality of life’, both from an...

Vulnerability

Henke, Julia

Pages: 7 –21

[We begin the theoretical part by introducing the concept of vulnerability and exploring what it can bring to the research on low levels of economic quality of life in old age. The concept of vulnerability lends itself well to the study of a phenomenon that is not easy to circumscribe and that is...

Objectivity and Subjectivity

Henke, Julia

Pages: 23 –33

[In literature on subjective measures of economic vulnerability, there is usually little thought on the ‘nature’ of subjectivity or objectivity. The intellectual wrestling with the disjunction of objective and subjective measures has provided the basis for cross-fertilization between psychology...

Measures of Economic Vulnerability

Henke, Julia

Pages: 35 –52

[In this chapter, we continue laying some more theoretical ground for the construction of the measures that will be used in the empirical part of this volume. At the beginning, there is a methodological question that needs to be answered in order to be able to more selectively focus on the most...

Theoretical Model and Research Questions

Henke, Julia

Pages: 73 –79

[The overarching objectives of this volume is to assess the contribution of a triangular approach to measuring low levels of economic quality of life in view of a more nuanced profiling of economic vulnerability in wealthy countries like Switzerland, and as part of this endeavor, to evaluate the...

Analytical Methods

Henke, Julia

Pages: 81 –95

[In this chapter we are going to introduce the methods that we will use to empirically answer our research questions. The objective is to provide a brief overview of our methodological choices by expounding on possible alternatives, and to provide the background information necessary for...

Choice of Variables

Henke, Julia

Pages: 97 –123

[All of our research questions taken together, they span a wide array of life domains, requiring that a large number of covariates be considered in the empirical analyses. For each independent variable, a brief review of the literature will be given along with an introduction to the hypothesized...

Missing Values

Henke, Julia

Pages: 125 –134

[Missing values are an inevitable problem with survey data. Ignoring them can yield distorted results if values are not missing at random or if comparisons are based on samples of varying size. Previous research on the VLV survey suggests that the economically vulnerable population has been...
