Policy solutions to avoid economic crises.  The host for this episode is Karena Lyons.  The guest for this episode is Sang-Hyop Lee, PhD.

Dr. Sang-Hyop Lee, EWC Senior Fellow and Chair of the UH Mānoa Economics Department, will join host and EWC Vice President Karena Lyons to discuss the economics of aging. Asian societies are aging rapidly, and the demographics of labor are changing. How can public policy mitigate the socio-economic implications of this shift to ensure a robust economy? And how has COVID-19—a disease that disproportionally affects older demographics—further complicated the situation?
