Title: “Is Aging a Luxury Good?”
Abstract: Everyone ages, but the experience of aging differs across individuals. Some people have a long period of good health at older ages, while others have a short period with major health impairments. Increasingly, aging seems to be a luxury good – better for the wealthy than for the poor. This talk will consider whether that is the case and why that might be.
Lunch Break | 12:00-1:00 PM
Optional session| 12:30-1:00 PM: CAPS leadership team will lead Q&A session on (1) initiating and managing cross-institution collaborative projects and (2) submitting CAPS pilot proposals. The session will address a broad set of topics depending on interest ranging from budget/timeline and logistical issues to questions about potential proposals’ aims.
