Ageing @LSE

The Research Group

 

Researching healthy ageing across countries and disciplines

The Ageing @LSE  is a group of researchers recognised by the LSE that bring together academics from different social science disciplines interested in one of the worlds key challenges, namely population ageing together with inequality and climate change.

The group applies a global perspective to healthy ageing and population ageing, focusing on high-, low- and middle-income countries.

We aim to enhance collaboration between academics and early career researchers at LSE, and to coordinate and streamline LSE’s contribution to this area.

We are a truly global group in terms of outreach and cover a wide array of areas that includes behavioural aspects of active ageing; formal and informal social care contracts; life course approaches to ageing; societal influences on the individual ageing process; intergenerational benefits of ageing well; intergenerational inequalities and old age poverty; critical perspectives of ageing; financial challenges; and wellbeing effects of retirement, among many others
