“Myth Busts” for Ageing Societies: Virtual Press Hour by "FutuRes"

Have you ever caught yourself speaking about “generations” as if they were different species? You are not alone. Labels like “boomers” and “generation X, Y, Z, …” are incredibly popular in public discourse these days. Unfortunately, these labels give us warped ideas about ageing.

Join us to hear more about common misconceptions on ageing - and to ask your questions directly to our experts: register now for our virtual Press Hour.

To counter these myths, the EU-funded “FutuRes” research project is launching the series “Myth Busting for Ageing Societies” (more below). Ageing, our experts explain, is neither “somebody else’s problem” nor is it a “problem” at all. Rather, such ideas are often mere excuses in order to avoid political action.

Join us to hear more about common misconceptions on ageing - and to ask your questions directly to our experts: register now for our “Myth Busting” virtual Press Hour.

Thursday, December 14, 2024, 11.00 – 11.50 am CET

We are looking forward to discussing the future with you!

With: Prof. Arnstein Aassve, Bocconi University, “FutuRes” head of research.
Prof. Aassve is one of Europe’s leading experts on crisis resilience with a focus on ageing societies. A demographer, he works with EU policymakers on pressing issues like societal trust and social cohesion.

and

Ilenia Gheno, Project Manager at AGE Platform Europe.
Ilenia Gheno manages and works on European projects related to topics such as universal design, health and e-health, accessibility, new technologies and ethical research.

“Myth Busts for Ageing Societies”
In each article, our “FutuRes” experts unpack a commonly believed ageing myth and present us with the current research perspective. Are generations really “opposing interest groups”? Is ageing really “expensive”?

“FutuRes – Towards a Resilient Future of Europe” is an EU-funded research project which brings together international experts from demography, economics and social sciences. Based on data evidence and newest research, we deliver policy recommendations for ageing societies.

AGE Platform Europe is the largest European network of non-profit organisations of and for older people. AGE’s vision encompasses an inclusive society, based on well-being for all, solidarity between generations and full entitlement to enjoy life, participate in and contribute to society.
