Asghar Zaidi will be presenting this joint CPC/CRA/CLC seminar on the ‘Active Ageing Index’ (AAI), a research project aiming to provide policymakers with a new tool that will highlight areas for policy interventions across European countries to promote active and healthy ageing.
The work reported at this seminar will present the results for 27 EU Member States on individual active ageing indicators, which have been aggregated into a gender-specific index.
The presentation will also describe the methodology used and the essential insights drawn from the discussions on conceptual considerations of incorporating the life course perspective and prospective ageing. Most notably, the discussion will also seek to identify future areas of research work to be pursued at ageing/gerontology division of the School of Social Sciences, in the area of active and healthy ageing.
Note: This research was undertaken by the research team at European Centre Vienna, in collaboration with the UNECE and the European Commission. Coordinated by Asghar Zaidi, Professor of International Social Policy, Centre for Research on Ageing/ ESRC Centre for Population Change, Social Sciences, University of Southampton.
