Follow us Setting the Research Agenda on Latin America: Lessons from Asia
Hermalin, Albert. 1995. "Setting the Research Agenda on Latin America: Lessons from Asia." Elderly in Asia Report No. 95-33. November 1995.
Research into issues associated with population aging appears to have advanced more quickly in Asia than in Latin America, though demographic projections point to rapid changes in both continents in the years ahead. This paper compares the two areas in terms of current and projected changes in relevant demographic and socio-economic factors, and then develops a possible research agenda for Latin America, based partly on the Asian experience. The agenda contains demographic "strategies," modest expansion of current research activities that will enhance knowledge of aging, and characteristics of specially designed studies of the elderly.
