1st International CEPAR Conference
We are delighted to announce our first international population ageing conference, to take place next July 2 and 3. We already have an exciting line-up of keynote speakers, and will be calling for contributed papers soon.
The conference will feature opportunities for younger researchers to present their work, an industry morning is planned, and we are hoping to devote some exclusive time to population ageing and its consequences in China, the world’s most rapidly ageing nation.
An exciting element of the conference will be its multi-disciplinary flavour. Demographers, economists, sociologists, and psychologists will be presenting over the two days.
By breaking with the purely disciplinary tradition, we hope to encourage innovative collaborative approaches to the challenges of an ageing demographic.
Topic areas will be in part determined by the weight and relative quality of contributed papers, but we hope to cover issues as diverse as inter-generational solidarity, cognitive decline, demographic projections, healthy ageing, and innovations in retirement finance.
If you wish to contribute to the conference, abstracts of approximately 2 pages plus a brief biography should be submitted by Friday 15 February 2013.
Online submission will be available on the conference website shortly. In the meantime you can email Amy Brushwood at cepar@unsw.edu.au
