TILDA/ASPEN conference on 'Active Ageing & Labour Market Trajectories'
On the 25th of June 2007, the Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing (TILDA), in collaboration with the Active Social Policies European Network (ASPEN), organised a one-day conference on 'Active Ageing & Labour Market Trajectories. This conference brought together a number of world renowned experts from both Europe and the US and a group of papers that covered some of the most relevant topics in this domain. This was a very successful event, which attracted a large number of participants (over one hundred attendants) and significant media coverage.
The Organising Committee are thankful to the National Council on Ageing and Older People (NCAOP) for their support and assistance for the event.
