These seminars are designed for researchers studying issues at the intersections of topics related to the life course and demography.

The Conference Series on Aging in the Americas (CAA) utilizes research to augment knowledge about dimensions of healthful aging for people of Hispanic and Latin American descent. As this topic rapidly develops as a major policy and national budget issue, the CAA also aims to foster emerging scholars in the field. Iterations of the conference series, ICAA meetings, are held each year.

This project examines how recent tobacco control policies and emerging products are impacting population health and aging.

This workshop will advance the science and practice of implementation and innovation to improve the care and outcomes of older adults. Hosted this year by Duke University, the workshop's hybrid format with a focus on VA implementation, allows for in-person interactive sessions, mentorship and workgroups and uses a webinar platform to engage a wider virtual audience for plenary presentation.

CAPS Friday Seminar Series

Declining fertility and the resulting aging of a nation’s population can affect a number of macroeconomic outcomes. By slowing labor force growth, it can reduce GDP, increase wages, reduce firm entry, and lower innovative activity. By increasing the demand for assets, it can reduce interest rates and raise capital intensity and labor productivity. Population aging can also strain public finances by increasing per capita government expenditure and reducing tax receipts, leading to higher levels of debt in the short run and requiring a fiscal adjustment in the long run. In these and other ways, population aging can affect economic wellbeing and on the distribution of income. The net impact will differ from country to country, depending on demographics, institutions, and policies.

This inaugural symposium will explore the role of entropy in outcomes of aging, how to measure entropy, and whether entropy can be reversed.
