Gender Inequalities in Ageing Societies
Queens’ College University of Cambridge
Tuesday October 4th 2005 1.00pm 5.00pm
Men and women in ageing societies face different kinds of inequalities in
both health and wealth. Simple analysis suggests that men may be richer
but they die younger. Yet it is essential to understand the ways in which
gender inequalities intersect with education, class and locality to create
a more complete picture of ageing. This seminar explores these issues
through three interlinked sessions:
i) Health inequalities in ageing societies
ii) Wealth inequalities across the lifecourse
iii) Global challenges and policy perspectives
