IGF::OT::IGF: WORKSHOP ON THE FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR THE DEMOGRAPHY OF AGING

拟议的讲习班将召集专家，他们将审查最近的趋势并讨论老龄化人口研究的未来方向，包括研究死亡率趋势和差异、残疾趋势和健康预期寿命、进化和比较人口统计学和生物人口统计学、经济人口统计学和家庭人口统计学。这项活动在许多方面都是1994年由琳达·马丁和塞缪尔·普雷斯顿编辑的具有影响力的《老龄化人口》一书的继承者。新的卷将是一个最新的指导，最近的进展和最重要的未来方向，研究人口老龄化及其后果。这项任务的成果将是一本印刷版和一个网络资源，面向广大的研究人员，目的是激发新的方法和与邻近学科的合作。它也应该是有用的教学资源。它应该有助于制定未来几年的研究议程，持续到美国老年人口快速增长的时期

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.
