How does this demographic transformation affect our society? And what kind of public policies are governments implementing in the face of this challenge? These are the questions that researchers will try to answer, who will analyse the impacts of this demographic transformation and the different responses that are being given by the public administration from the perspective of the UN's active and healthy ageing (2020).
With the organisation of this meeting for public policies on population ageing, together with universities from other latitudes with a long history in this field, “the aim is to create a space for dialogue between scholars on the subject to learn about the latest research, and to develop a network of experts related to the area from which other synergies of collaboration can emerge”, says the organising committee. “The aim is to develop a holistic perspective in the field of research, which is rooted in the socio-economic impact of this phenomenon”, it concludes.
