The course examines the challenges and opportunities of population aging and how this affects the distribution of resources and public policies. It will address topics such as population aging and changing age structures (emphasizing that aging is not only about older people), aging population trends, the health and well-being of older adults, the economic security and social protection of older adults, and the impact of aging on the workforce, employment and care. The course also focuses on the transfer of resources between generations, exploring how public policies can ensure a fair distribution of resources between younger and older populations.
