Dear LS discussion list members,
I am a research officer in the Department of Social Policy at the
London School of Economics in the newly-formed ESRC SAGE research
group (Simulating policy for an AGEing society).
The group is working on understanding the life-course and the
construction and use of a dynamic microsimulation model, which will
facilitate an assessment of the impact of different policy options
in the twenty-first century. We will tackle the most pressing
social policy issues in the areas of: Pensions and other resources
in later life; Demand for and financing of long-term care; and,
Health and dependency in old age.
We will be using a number of data sources in order to build our
model. We do not know yet whether we will want to use the LS
directly, but other work on the LS will inform our work.
