Motivation and Background
The global trend of rapid population aging has created a host of challenges that countries must address, including decisions related to planning and funding for retirement and long-term care systems. To inform these decisions and contextualize the current demographic transition, more research is needed which investigates cross-country and historical variation in aging, health, and systems supporting older individuals and their families. The Gateway to Global Aging Data and the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) offer crucial resources for conducting such research, providing internationally comparable longitudinal microdata on health, aging, and retirement as well as social and economic characteristics of older adults in 47 countries worldwide, 29 of which are covered in SHARE.
To stimulate collaboration and discussion of research using data from SHARE and the broader international network of health and retirement studies supported by the Gateway, the SHARE Berlin Institute and Gateway to Global Aging Data are organizing an interdisciplinary SHARE-Gateway user conference. We welcome submissions from a range of research areas including disciplines in the social sciences, health, and public policy. A limited number of submissions will be selected. The conference will promote discussion between users on research evaluating a range of topics covered in the international network, especially cross-country work on health, aging, and retirement.
The conference will take place in Berlin, Germany from November 6-8, 2024, with a half-day workshop on November 6 featuring sessions on the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) and the Gateway’s cross-study harmonized datasets, followed by two full days of parallel sessions presenting work by SHARE users and Gateway users selected by the scientific committee.
