- Description
-
How Long Will We Live?
Beckman Center
100 Academy, Irvine, CAWorking at the intersection of science and policy, population researchers examine the causes and impacts of population trends. Understand how the science has changed and hear about the factors and phenomena that affect mortality and other human longevity statistics. Population aging and extending the human life span can challenge public support systems. Learn how the skills of the demographer are applied to these and other important social and economic issues.
John Bongaarts, Ph.D., (NAS), is vice president and Distinguished Scholar of the Population Council in New York. His research has laid the foundation for effective population forecasts and policy in several countries, including China and developing nations in sub-Saharan Africa.
