The course examines the challenges and opportunities of population aging and how this affects the distribution of resources and public policies. It will address topics such as population aging and changing age structures (emphasizing that aging is not only about older people), aging population trends, the health and well-being of older adults, the economic security and social protection of older adults, and the impact of aging on the workforce, employment and the economy in general. The course also focuses on the transfer of resources between generations, exploring how public policies can ensure a fair distribution of resources between younger and older populations.
Elisenda Renteria and Júlia Almeida Calazans. Elisenda is the Deputy Director, Researcher and Career Advisor at the Centre d’Estudis Demogrà fics (CED). She is an expert in population aging, intergenerational transfers, and socioeconomic disparities in population health. Júlia is a postdoctoral researcher at the CED. She is an economist with a PhD in Demography and her main areas of interest are mortality by cause of death, mortality estimates, and demographic techniques.
This course will be useful to undergraduate, Master, and PhD students working in any area of the social sciences (preferably using quantitative methods or approaches), like Demography, Sociology, Economics, Political Science, or Environmental Science, that are interested in the study of population aging and their challenges. Moreover, it can also be useful to those who design and manage public policies related to these topics.
The course will offer a broad overview of the challenges and opportunities of population aging. It will help students to develop critical thinking on the topic, enabling them to challenge alarmist messages, usually coming from the media. It will also allow them to thoughtfully assess the importance of effective planning and informed decision-making in shaping public policies. Students will understand the importance of addressing population aging, not as an issue affecting only older populations, but all age groups.
