Dear Colleague,
A new email list has been formed, based on the Ageing in Europe Research
Network (part of the European Sociological Association).
Ageing is an area of increasing interest to sociologists and social policy
researchers, stimulated by awareness of the rising proportion of older
people, the projected costs of pensions and health care, earlier ages of
retirement, the 'vertical' growth of families, changing patterns of
consumption and of lifestyles. Societies have responded in differing ways
to population ageing, making ageing and intergenerational relations an
exciting and important area in which to exchange information and ideas
across countries. International comparative research on these issues is
vital, and this new Research Network aims to facilitate international
contacts and collaboration among those with research interests in ageing.
The purpose of the Ageing in Europe email list is to;
-carry announcements of conferences/books etc relevant to the study of ageing
-notify listmembers of new papers mounted at the Ageing in Europe website
(soon to be operational)
-facilitate exchange of information among listmembers
-foster opportunities for collaborative research, including cross-national
