CHIAS - Cognitive health in aging society
Europe is a leader in population aging but living longer does not imply aging well for all. As a key source of inequality, the retirement-health nexus has gained importance for both research and health policy planning. Still, existing studies oversee the interplay of individual, family and contextual factors in shaping healthy aging. In this respect, maintaining cognitive functions is a recognized central aspect. Thus, providing a clear understanding of healthy cognitive aging is the goal of this interdisciplinary project. Conceptually, we focus on the link between labor market participation and healthy cognitive aging. Analytically, we investigate inequalities across time and space, where gender and education are central individual dimensions. Our research is key for the current older population but also for health policies aiming at more equal opportunities of healthy aging for all and for the generations to come.
