Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A global demographic transition is well underway. Global life expectancy now exceeds 70 years of age and fertility rates are declining. The result is a rising number and proportion of people at older ages. In general, in economics this ‘ageing society’ is seen as a problem with major challenges for growth, pensions and health systems. The theme of this session will be to review this pessimism and consider a range of economic policy and research issues that longer lives create and take stock of what we know and what we need to know in order to better understand the demographic transition and focus less on a changing age structure and more changing how we age.
