The Global AgeWatch Index ranks countries by how well their older populations are faring. It is based on four domains that are key enablers of older people’s wellbeing: income, health, employment and education, and enabling environment. On Monday 6 October, staff and students are invited to the launch of the Global AgeWatch Index.
Professor Asghar Zaidi, from the Centre for Research on Ageing, who led the development of the Index working alongside HelpAge International, will present its findings and will highlight the University’s contribution towards this global initiative. The event will be chaired by Professor Judith Petts, CBE, Pro-Vice-Chancellor.
Date: 6 October 2014
Time: 4pm
Venue: Senate Room, building 37, Highfield Campus. For a location map, please refer to the link: southampton.likn.co/visitus/campuses/highfield.html
