AGEING IN CHINA AND AUSTRALIA: SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH IMPLICATIONS

Population ageing in China and Australia are presenting significant challenges and opportunities in both countries in planning for and adjusting proactively to social and policy change. Led by a multi-disciplinary team of cross-national researchers, this Symposium will present comparative findings on determinants of health, productivity, and wellbeing in the context of each country’s cultural and social structural context, drawing from a range of large scale studies from China and Australia, followed by discussion on policy implications within these contexts.
