"BEYOND 2020 VISION: FORMULATING SOCIAL POLICY WITHIN AN AGEING SOCIETY"

  The Research Group will carry out research on the future of social policy within an ageing society. The research will examine the social and economic experiences of older people today and how these differ from the likely profile of future older people. Patterns of family formation, educational experience, participation in the labour market and the accumulation of resources will be examined. At the heart of this is the construction and use of a dynamic micro-simulation model, which will simulate life course trajectories to 2020. This will also create a unique national research with which to make evidence-based social policy projections for the twenty-first century.
