They were influenced by economic developments, like changes in women's earning opportunities, and by state policies. For instance, equal opportunities policies may have changed the timing of childbearing and family size and patterns of union formation and dissolution. This conference will bring together experts that will examine the relations between changes in the age structures of populations on one hand, and families, government policies, and markets on the other. Some papers will also be devoted to an analysis of the changing status of elderly people as the processes of age structural shifts advance. The conference will include both invited and submitted papers.
Limited funding is available to help defray the costs of attendees.
The organisers invite submissions in the form of detailed abstracts or full-length papers.
