The Center on Aging & 工作 aims to promote opportunity, 选择, and quality of paid and unpaid work across the lifespan, with a focus on older adults. Through research and engagement with a multi-disciplinary network of scholars and practitioners, we connect research to practice.
The Center is conducting several studies about the health, mental health, and quality of life of the aging workforce in the U.S. and around the world.
Since its founding in 2005, the Center has produced hundreds of fact sheets, case studies, comparative policy summaries, policy briefs, and research reports.
The Center has produced a variety of translational research products to facilitate organizational efforts to adapt to shifting workforce age demographics.
