Abstract

The Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), or "50+ in Europe", is a study that focuses on the European population aged 50 and over. SHARE is a panel (i.e. longitudinal survey). For Belgium it is executed by teams at the University of Liège (for the French-speaking community) and at the University of Antwerp (for the Dutch-speaking community). This report explains the design of the Belgian SHARE sample, discusses how the sample was regularly refreshed by additional samples and looks at some indicators of the representativeness of the SHARE samples for the population of older people in the French-speaking and Dutch-speaking communities of Belgium. A worrying development is that the age group 55-64 is increasingly underrepresented in the SHARE samples for both communities.
