and beyond
14th to 16th April 2010
St Catherine’s College, University
of Oxford
Booking Now Open
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.
