Podcasts about Population ageing

In popular culture, Tourette's syndrome is wrongly associated solely with outbursts of swearing in the context of lazy jokes. But in reality, the condition is far more complex than this stereotype suggests. When people without Tourette's jokingly blame their lack of self-control on the condition, it spreads misinformation and invalidates those who actually live with it. Despite this, comedy - when created by those who experience stigma - can sometimes help challenge stereotypes and shift public perceptions. We chat with Dr Melina Malli from the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing to explore whether laughter can really be the best medicine.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie sits down with Bruegel Senior fellow Zsolt Darvas and Jennifer D. Sciubba, President and CEO of the Population Reference Bureau from Washington DC. Together, they explore the findings of Darvas' recent paper on the effects of demographic changes on public debt sustainability, which was presented at the informal Meeting of Economic and Financial Affairs Ministers on 14 September 2024. Darvas pointed out that countries will have to devote a much larger share of their budget for paying for pensions and health care and elderly care, and fiscal adjustments might not be enough to cover these. Sciubba emphasizes the urgency for policymakers to acknowledge the change in demographics and work toward actionable solutions.

People around the world are living longer and, on the whole, having fewer children. What does this mean for future populations? Sarah Harper CBE, Professor in Gerontology at the University of Oxford, tells presenter Jim Al-Khalili how it could affect pensions, why it might mean we work for longer, and discusses the ways modern life is changing global attitudes to when we have children, and whether we have them at all. Fertility and ageing have been Sarah's life's work and she tells her story of giving up a career in the media to carry out in-depth research, and going on to study population change in the UK and China, setting up the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing and later becoming a Scientific Advisor to UK Government.Presenter: Jim Al-Khalili Producer: Tom Bonnett Production Co-ordinator: Jonathan Harris

After a century of rapid population growth, the world is getting older. But with fewer workers to subsidise healthcare and pensions, some speculate that shifting demographics spell trouble for the economy and our investments. We debate whether the golden age of stock markets can survive the great Demographic Drag? And in today's Dumb Question of the Week: How did old people survive before pensions?

SINOPSEEstará o Estado Social a definhar?Como reagiu o nosso Estado Social à crise financeira de 2010?E à pandemia? Como responderam o nosso e o dos outros?Qual das duas crises ‘infectou' mais o Estado Social português?Ana Markl deu o pontapé de saída com a possível necessidade de repensar o Estado Social. Amílcar Moreira respondeu com todas as letras, e depois ambos exploraram as duas crises que nos assolaram no espaço de 10 anos. Como corolário compreenderá que se duas crises nunca são exactamente iguais, elas são ainda menos iguais no que toca ao modo como podem afectar o Estado Social, ou seja, ‘infectar-nos' a todos. REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEIS:LIVROS, CAPÍTULOS & ARTIGOS:R.

When is it time to slow down? Is it when you reach middle age, when you can draw your pension or even later? 什么时候该放慢脚步？是到中年，可以领取养老金，还是更晚？Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 this year and there are not many signs that she's taking it easy. 伊丽莎白二世女王今年已经 90 岁了，没有多少迹象表明她在放松。Last year alone the monarch carried out over 300 engagements.仅去年一年，君主就进行了 300 多次约会。Longevity has long been a topic of discussion in Britain.长寿一直是英国人讨论的话题。 What's likely to make us live longer? According to Professor Sarah Harper, from the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, just over half your chances of living a long life come down to luck. 什么可能让我们活得更久？根据牛津人口老龄化研究所的莎拉哈珀教授的说法，超过一半的长寿机会归结为运气。She says: "If you have parents and grandparents who made it into their eighties and nineties there's a chance you have inherited good genes. 她说：“如果你的父母和祖父母都活到了八九十岁，那么你就有可能继承了良好的基因。You are more likely to have a strong immune system and are less likely to develop chronic diseases."你更有可能拥有强大的免疫系统，并且不太可能患上慢性疾病。”Lucky you, then. But don't rely on that because bad habits can spoil everything. 那你走运。但不要依赖这一点，因为坏习惯会破坏一切。Half of long-term smokers die prematurely. Smoking causes heart disease, lung cancer and other illnesses.一半的长期吸烟者过早死亡。吸烟会导致心脏病、肺癌和其他疾病。 A poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to obesity, which reduces your life expectancy by between three and 10 years, says the National Health Service in Britain.英国国家卫生服务局表示，不良饮食和缺乏运动会导致肥胖，从而使您的预期寿命缩短 3 到 10 年。But it's not worth stressing out about how long you're going to stick around. Stress can take years off someone's life. 但不值得强调你要坚持多久。压力可以使一个人的生命减少数年。A study published in the British Medical Journal found even low-level stress raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 20% and you don't want that, do you?发表在英国医学杂志上的一项研究发现，即使是低水平的压力也会使心脏病发作和中风的风险增加 20%，你不希望这样，是吗？After you've ticked all the boxes - genes, healthy living, keeping cool - you might have almost guaranteed a long life. 在你勾选了所有的选项之后——基因、健康的生活、保持凉爽——你几乎可以保证长寿。But for what? That's the final piece of the jigsaw. Having a purpose in life can also make you live longer. 但为了什么？这是拼图的最后一块。拥有人生目标也可以让你活得更久。Some people engage in charity work to keep active, others get involved in initiatives in their community.有些人从事慈善工作以保持活跃，其他人则参与社区的倡议。 It gives them a reason to wake up in the morning - even if the joints creak a little.这让他们有理由在早上醒来——即使关节有点吱吱作响。 Professor Harper says that caring for others can make you feel valued.哈珀教授说，关心他人可以让你感到被重视。It must feel good to be appreciated – by people around you, by a nation. 被你周围的人、一个国家的人欣赏一定感觉很好。Happy 90th birthday, Your Majesty!陛下，90 岁生日快乐！词汇表middle age 中年draw your pension 领取退休金take it easy 放松，不拼命工作longevity 长寿ageing 年老的，衰老的chances 可能性，机会inherit 继承immune system 免疫系统chronic disease 慢性疾病bad habit 坏习惯prematurely 过早的life expectancy （人的）预期寿命to stick around 停留，（此处指）活着stroke 中风tick all the boxes 符合所有条件，满足所有的标准keep cool 保持冷静jigsaw 拼图玩具charity work 公益劳动，慈善工作

Katja Hanewald is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Risk and Actuarial Studies at UNSW Sydney, which has been ranked 1st in the world for Actuarial Science, Risk Management and Insurance research. She is also the Coordinator of the Actuarial Co-op Program at the university. Apart from that, Katja is the Director of Research of the Ageing Asia Research Hub, which is hosted by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR). Katja's major expertise and research interests are risk management for retirement financial products and insurance responses to population ageing. Her research papers and articles have been published in all leading international insurance and actuarial journals and major economics journals. Katja has been a research-driven academician for over a decade from the very beginning of her career. After obtaining her doctoral degree from the School of Business and Economics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in November 2010, she worked as a postdoc researcher in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR) at UNSW Sydney from 2011 to 2013. She moved back to Germany in 2013 to work for the German Federal Ministry of Finance from 2013 to 2015. In 2016, she returned to Sydney to re-join CEPAR and UNSW Sydney, and is now a Senior Lecturer in the School of Risk & Actuarial Studies. This episode starts with Katja sharing with us about her background in research and what led her to focus on economics, actuarial, insurance, and risk management. Following this, the discussion moves through the following areas: How the School of Risk and Actuarial Studies at UNSW is helping actuarial students to explore different career paths, such as traditional actuarial works as well as data science. Katja's research work around retirement insurance product development. Deep dive into creating a new model for the insurers, combining the General Linear Model (GLM) and neural network. How the new model addresses some of the shortcomings of the GLM. How the model allows analytics professionals and actuaries to incorporate additional factors, linear and nonlinear relationships among variables, and emphasize expert opinion. How the insurers could benefit from this new model in multiple ways, including understanding the mortality modelling using individual-level data, solving risk classification problems for insurance claims, microsimulation health models, and long term care insurance pricing. If you are an actuary or data scientist working on building analytics models for your applications, not only will you find Katja's proposals to be uniquely refreshing, but you will also learn new perspectives in combining different models to solve the problems you may have at hand. If you are a senior executive in the insurance or reinsurance industry, this could be useful in understanding and developing a new insurance product for the ever-changing consumer needs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/analyticsshow/message

An article in The Economist magazine in September 2018 argued that high birth rates is one of the main culprits for pervasive poverty on the African continent. The article, in particular, cited the example of Tanzania, where the then President John Magufuli did not apparently see the point with birth control, having announced in 2016 that women could throw away their contraceptives as state schools will be free. President Magufuli subsequently claimed that a major consequence of widespread contraception is a shrinking labour force, which in turn is bad for development. But others, including the Gates Foundation, have pointed to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria, which are projected to witness massive increases in their populations in the next few decades. And such rapid population growth can potentially pose major challenges for government policies aimed at promoting the well-being of citizens. So, what is the link between population and development and are there some lessons that the world can learn from China’s attempts at controlling population growth in recent decades?Lauren Johnston is a research associate at SOAS China Institute, and currently a World Bank consultant for a population ageing and China research project. She holds a PhD in Economics from Peking University and is widely published on topics relating to China’s economy with respect to demographics and economic ties with Africa. Lauren Johnston on TwitterDan Banik and In Pursuit of Development on Twitter

This episode features Anna Bone (Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care, Policy and Rehabilitation, King’s College London). This study aimed to project where people will die from 2015 to 2040 across all care settings in England and Wales. The study was a population-based trend analysis and projections using simple linear modelling. All deaths (2004–2014) from death registration data and predicted deaths (2015–2040) from official population forecasts in England and Wales. Age- and gender-specific proportions of deaths in hospital, care home, home, hospice and ‘other’ were applied to numbers of expected future deaths.  The study demonstrated that if current trends continue, the number of deaths in care homes and homes will increase by 108.1% and 88.6%, with care home the most common place of death by 2040. If care home capacity does not expand and additional deaths occur in hospital, hospital deaths will start rising by 2023. Due to increasing demand, in order to sustain current trends, end-of-life care provision in care homes and the community needs to double by 2040. An infrastructure across care settings that supports rising annual deaths is urgently needed; otherwise, hospital deaths will increase.Full paper available from: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269216317734435

Although India’s population is young and growing, the share of the population aged 65+ in total population is projected to rise significantly through to 2030. Population ageing in India is the result of increasing life expectancy, lower fertility and declining birth rates on the back of social changes. It puts strains on social welfare and public healthcare as well as having important implications in terms of labour productivity, consumption patterns, and private savings.          

Helen Fountain, Reminiscence Officer, Oxford University Museums and Kate Hamblin, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford Institute for Population Ageing give a short talk for the Oxford University Museums Staff Conference. In 2015 the University of Oxford Institute for Population Ageing made a successful application to the Fell Fund to explore the impact of the Museum of Oxford’s Memory Lane on site reminiscence group on its participants’ wellbeing. This short talk covers the collaborative process from early discussions, developing a seminar series, the research process and the final research findings which have been published in a report.

Dr Pia Jolliffe speaks at the Southeast Asia Seminar Focusing on the Karen people from Burma/Myanmar in Thailand and in the United Kingdom, this talk analyses how global, regional and local developments affect patterns of learning. Based on Marcel Mauss' theory of the gift, the speaker will suggest considering "education" as a gift that establishes unequal relationships between those who give and those who receive education. Pia Jolliffe argues whether or not relations between educators and pupils remain unequal largely depends on the opportunities learners have to pass on their knowledge to younger generations, or to render it useful for their elders. But if such opportunities do not exist, for example within the constraints of refugee camps - an awkward situation is created in which the young remain unable to return the 'gift' they received from their elders. In hertalk Dr Jolliffe will illustrate this argument with ethnographic research conducted among Karen refugees from Eastern Myanmar who live in Thailand and as resettled refugees in the United Kingdom. Findings indicate the high value Karen people place on traditional and modern forms of learning including increasing aspirations for formal higher education. At the same time, the speaker's research evidences that, when the young receive education without being able to use their knowledge to access higher education or professional occupations, they feel disappointed and question the use of formal learning. Dr Pia Jolliffe is a member of the Las Casas Institute as a research scholar of Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford. She is also Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing. Her publications focus on life transitions and aspirations within a context of migration and international development, refugees as well as the role of prisons and forced labour during the colonization of Japan´s northern island Hokkaido.

Dr Laurel Hixon, Research Fellow, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, gives the first talk for the Oxford Conference on Ageing and Psychiatry. Changing demographics provide challenges and opportunities for those interested in a career in old age psychiatry. Increasing life expectancy will lead to an ageing population with heterogeneous needs. To meet demands the health-care demands of this population, services need to provide increased flexibility and responsiveness, as well as mechanisms to integrate care.

Around the world, populations are growing older. But is that because people are living longer? Or could it be that there are fewer younger people to dilute the demographic pool? And what about aging itself -- when exactly is 'old' these days?Sarah Harper, an Oxford University professor of gerontology and director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, grapples with these sorts of questions every day, asking how these changes will affect relationships, labor, migration, and even the environment. And while she presents the questions as challenges, she's not arguing these challenges need end in tears."In the last 25 years," she notes in this podcast, "this debate has moved around from the problem of an aging society to the challenge of the society of an aging society. And now people talk about the opportunity."Harper started her career as a news reporter for the BBC before training at the University of Chicago's center of Demography and Economics. Her postdoc career took her to China and the Pacific Rim, and she was the first holder of the International Chair in Old Age Financial Security established at the University of Malaya in 2009. She also is involved with a number of demographic and aging-related projects, such as being co-principal investigator for the Oxford Global Ageing Study and leading The Clore Population-Environment Interactions Programme.

Tina Miteko and Liz Mestheneos, past president of AGE Platform Europe talk about the problems and the opportunities that come with population ageing; the role that the 50+ Hellas organization plays; what AGE Platform Europe is; and current projects that are focusing on leveraging feedback from older persons and policymakers in order to provide accessible technologies.

The population timebomb: The idea that an ageing population is making it harder and harder to fund pensions, social care, and healthcare, as the number of older people grows in proportion to the working population. Jeroen Spijker, senior research fellow at the School of Social and Political Science in the University of Edinburgh, explains why he thinks the risk has been overblown. Also, Michael Kidd, current president of WONCA – the world organisation of family doctors - talks about the pressures on primary care, and how he would like to attract the best medical talent to the specialty. http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f6598

As more and more people look forward to ever longer life, Analysis examines what it's like to grow old in Britain and what we can learn from other countries facing the same challenge. We've heard much about the financial issues around pensions or health care. But it also poses more fundamental questions - is Britain a good society in which to grow old? Will those precious extra years be a time of wellbeing or alienation and loneliness? And, do other parts of the world have strengths from which we could learn? Chris Bowlby talks to those who have a unique perspective on this - migrants who came to the UK in the hope of better prospects. They can compare British society with other places they know as well. Many are now weighing up what to do when their working lives are over. And a number do not expect to stay here. Their children work long hours and live a distance away. The three-generation homes that supported their own grandparents as they grew old will not be an option for them. Many worry that they face a lonely future. So is Britain a model for the future of a longer life? Or do those with a global perspective believe there are better places to spend your later years?
