Aging is a major individual, social and economic challenge of contemporary societies. Using a biopsychosocial model of aging, the World Health Organization’s Healthy Aging Framework aims at addressing the challenges and opportunities of aging by promoting individuals’ functional ability throughout the entire life course.
Over the last decades, social science aging research has made important contributions to a better understanding of healthy aging and related policies. However, higher-level agenda-setting studies regarding future priorities for social science aging research are currently lacking.
Our research project, therefore, aims to identify current knowledge gaps and potential priority topics for future social science aging research by soliciting perceived knowledge gaps and future research priorities from panels of academic and policy experts and the broader research community in the field.
