Description

We are pleased to invite submissions for a Workshop on Healthy Ageing and Caregiving, examining questions on the economics, demography and policy in high-, middle- and low-income settings.

Population ageing is profoundly transforming societies across the globe, implying growing -- and often unmet -- demands for caregiving for older persons through families, communities, and private and governmental institutions. Yet tremendous variation exists in how families, societies and governments have responded to this challenge, within high-income countries and across the socioeconomic development spectrum. Challenges for societies range from facilitating healthy ageing, thereby allowing individuals to live productive and independent lives until advanced ages, to understanding the financial and wellbeing consequences of population ageing and creating sustainable social support systems for a growing older population. Covid-19 has highlighted the additional strains that an unexpected rise of infectious diseases can provide for caregiving systems in ageing societies, and a growing body of comparative research has highlighted the diverse trajectories of individual and population ageing in high-, middle and low-income countries and the complexity of the required health systems and social responses to population ageing across the globe.

 This workshop will focus on the intersection between healthy ageing and caregiving, including discussions of the effects of (un)healthy ageing on later life behaviours, intergenerational interactions, labour markets, family caregiving, non-family support for older persons, as well as health, household and financial decisions of care at old age.

Research from high-, middle- and low-income contexts is suitable, as are comparative caregiving studies across ageing societies.

About Us

The Population Studies Center (PSC) at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) was founded in 1962 and stands as an international leader in research and training on the dynamic structure, organization, and health and well-being of human populations. The services that PSC provides have been funded by infrastructure grants awarded by the Population Dynamics Branch at Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) since 1978. The center and its associates are also supported by research grants and contracts awarded by federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation and by private foundations. Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences is the administrative home of the PSC and provides generous dedicated support to the center.
