Exploring Ageing through National Datasets

The webinar will focus on secondary, quantitative data. It will take place on Teams on the 9th of October from 13:30 - 15:00.   The speakers will be:

• George B. Ploubidis who will consider a cross-generational life-course approach to healthy ageing in the 21st century, arguing that understanding, addressing the challenges, and seizing the opportunities of an ageing population requires robust evidence spanning the entire life course and multiple generations. Drawing on the UK’s nationally representative birth cohort studies, he will present key insights into the social, economic, and biological factors that shape health and discuss how generational differences illuminate ways to delay chronic illness, promoting health, functioning, and productivity.
• Athina Vlachantoni who will explore pension protection among minority ethnic communities in the UK. Drawing on a three-year ESRC-funded project, she combines nationally representative data with interviews and focus groups to reveal persistent ethnic and gender gaps in pension membership and saving behaviour as well as culture-specific approaches to later-life finance. The talk discusses how UK pension protection can become more inclusive for future cohorts.
• Bram Vanhoutte who, drawing on 10 years of data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing,  examines the gap between subjective and chronological age, the role of functional health, and differences between birth cohorts.

Each talk will be followed by a brief question-and-answer section. 

This is a free event. 

The webinar will be chaired by Elizabeth Webb, Head of Research at Age UK. 

The speakers will provide recordings of their talks which will be available after the webinar through the NCRM website. You can subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when this goes live: newsletter. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the event.
