The PGDA joins twelve other Centers on the Demography
of Aging funded by the National Institute on Aging.
- Princeton
University -- The Princeton Center examines: the relationship
between socioeconomic status and health over the human life-cycle;
the measurement and determinants of decision-making and well-being
among individuals as they age; the physiological pathways through
which socioeconomic status affects health; and the determinants
of differences in health and life expectancy across countries
and within countries over time.
- University
of North Carolina -- UNC researchers investigate the
effects of population aging on a variety of topics including
labor force participation and retirement security, and how
nutrition-related improvements in developing countries could
influence the development of chronic diseases.
- Pennsylvania
State University -- Penn State scientists examine the
interrelationships among, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity,
and health, trends in chronic disease and disability, and biodemographic
approaches to aging and health.
- University
of Michigan at Ann Arbor -- At Michigan, center-based
research studies aspects of health, work, and retirement including
the NIA-funded Health and Retirement Study, trends in chronic
disease and disability, the impact of HIV/AIDS on the elderly
and their families in low income countries, and the demography
and economics of specific diseases.
- University
of Southern California (USC) -- University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA) -- Research at the USC-UCLA Center
incorporates a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology,
clinical geriatrics, biostatistics, psychology, and biology,
to develop models of the health status of populations and the
expected life cycles of individuals.
- Stanford
University -- The Stanford center focuses on: individuals
and the health care system; while examining the effects of
medical technology on health and well-being of older people.
Stanford also looks at medical care, costs, and health and
economic outcomes in the U.S. and in other countries, with
particular emphasis on disparities in outcomes; and conduct
comparative international studies analyzing the efficiencies
of different health care systems.
- University
of Wisconsin -- Wisconsin explores the links between
social demography and biomedical and epidemiological research
on health and aging, focusing on midlife development and aging,
the economics of population aging; inequalities in health and
aging; comparative international studies of population aging;
and links between social-demographic and biomedical research
in population aging.
- RAND
Corporation-- RAND examines the relationships between
the economic status and well-being of people approaching or
at old age. The center collaborates with researchers internationally,
with a particular focus on Europe and large social surveys
of older people being conducted by the Europeans.
- University
of California Berkeley -- The UC Berkeley Center focuses
on: the biodemography of aging; forecasting and analyzing demographic
and fiscal characteristics of the aging population; developing
behavioral and experimental economics; studying life cycle
planning and intergenerational transfers; and monitoring and
examining labor supply issues in an aging population.
- University
of Pennsylvania– UPenn’s research: looks
at biodemography and early life factors that affect health
in both mid- and late life; examines the well-being of older
individuals and old-age security programs both domestically
and internationally; looks at the flow of resources, such as
time, money, and help, among generations in a family; and develops
new and innovative methods for the collection and analysis
of demographic data.
- University
of Chicago National Opinion Research Center -- The
Chicago Center focuses on social aspects of aging, while examining
social relationships, living arrangements, family and bio-behavioral
pathways that are important to aging. The Center also looks
at health care, studying ways that data from biomarkers can
be effectively collected and integrated into population-based
aging research.
- National
Bureau of Economic Research -- The NBER focuses on
the relationship of economics and health in a variety of ways—financial
circumstances of aging individuals; the relationship between
retirement policies and labor market behavior; the inter-relationship
between socioeconomic status, health, and health disparities;
and population aging around the world, in terms of the timing
and magnitude of demographic change, institutional histories,
economic and social context, behavioral traditions, and policy
environments.
