The proposed workshop will convene experts who will review recent trends and discuss future directions for research on the demography of aging, including the study of mortality trends and differences, disability trends and healthy life expectancy, evolutionary and comparative demography and biodemography, economic demography, and family demography. This activity is in many ways a successor to the project that produced the influential 1994 volume Demography of Aging edited by Linda Martin and Samuel Preston. The new volume will be an up-to-date guide to recent progress and the most important future directions for research on population aging and its consequences. The product of this task will be both a printed volume and a web resource, aimed at a wide audience of researchers, with the goal of stimulating new approaches and collaborations with neighboring disciplines. It should also be useful as a teaching resource. It should serve to set a research agenda for years to come, lasting through the period of rapid growth of the elderly population of the U.S.

拟议的研讨会将召集专家，他们将审查老龄人口学研究的最新趋势并讨论未来方向，包括死亡率趋势和差异、残疾趋势和健康预期寿命、进化和比较人口学和生物人口学、经济人口学和家庭人口学的研究。 这项活动在许多方面都是1994年由琳达马丁和塞缪尔普雷斯顿编辑的有影响力的《老龄人口学》一书的后续项目。 新的卷将是一个最新的指南，最近的进展和最重要的未来方向的研究人口老龄化及其后果。 这项任务的产品将是一个印刷卷和网络资源，针对广大的研究人员，以刺激新的方法和与邻近学科的合作为目标。它也应该是有用的教学资源。 它应该为未来几年设定一个研究议程，持续通过美国老年人口的快速增长时期。
