SASE currently doesn’t focus much on population ageing or its effects on societies and economies, and this mini-conference aims to fill that gap. We hope it will bring in new members interested in this topic, as well as encourage current SASE members to explore it further in their own research. Our goal is for this event to spark new collaborations and help shape the next steps in this area of study. Among other things, we will be presenting the Journal of Economics of Ageing’s special issue about Innovcare.
– This is an unvaluable opportunity to introduce and develop the concept of care-led innovation and to expand the INNOVCARE research network about ageing.
The aim is to explore key forms of social conflict — particularly those related to generations and gender — and how these connect to labor issues and the balance of power between “active” and “inactive” populations. The INNOVCARE organization team, for this occasion, welcomes papers and proposals that examine the international aspects of ageing, including its influence on migration.
Early career researchers are also welcome to participate.
