Understanding ageing: Health, wealth and wellbeing at fifty and beyond
14th to 16th April 2010
St Catherine's College, University of Oxford
BOOKING NOW OPEN - EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT AVAILABLE
An international conference bringing together researchers working in the
economic, social, psychological and health fields to present state of
the art analyses of ageing processes; pinpoint existing gaps in
knowledge and identify priorities for future research and data
collection.
Keynote speakers:
Jim Heckman, University of Chicago
David Barker, University of Southampton
Jack Guralnik, National Institute of Ageing
The focus of this conference is the use of longitudinal data from
studies such as the British Birth Cohorts and the English Longitudinal
Study of Ageing to understand life-course determinants of healthy
ageing, including the effect of early-life circumstances on outcomes in
later life.
Research using such data is essential to inform sound policy that can
address the needs of an ageing society. Themes addressed in the
conference include: Frailty, disability and physical functioning at
older ages; Ageing and cognition; Employment at older ages and
transitions to retirement; Economic and financial circumstances over the
life-course; Ageing, social participation and wellbeing in later life;
Government policies and the ageing population.
