New MacArthur network to examine impact of aging society
Date:11/20/2008

itlements," said Rowe. "The new Network will supplement these efforts by exploring the substantial opportunities that may be derived by harnessing the wisdom and energy of the elderly in new organizations and arrangements that provide them with meaningful roles and yield economic, social, behavioral, and health benefits for them and other generations."

Early next year, the Network will present new U.S. population and mortality projections based on emerging evidence and will compare these to current government forecasts. The projections will forecast mortality under scenarios that take account of advances in bio-gerontology with its life-extending potential and the effects of unhealthy life conditions. Such projections have major implications for the development of social, economic, and health policy.

Drawing on the collective expertise of its members, the Network will examine the potential benefits of remodeling the distribution of key activities, including education, work, and leisure, across the life course. Research and projects will focus on three themes:

  • the positive and negative impact of key intergenerational issues on families and society;
  • the development of meaningful roles for older people; and
  • the potential effects that the various sources of diversity and inequalities may have on the structure, economy, and overall health of an aging society.
