World Ageing & Generations Congress (WAGC)
The 6th World Ageing & Generations Congress will take place August 25-28, 2010, at the University of St. Gallen.
The aim of the World Ageing & Generations Congress is to address important topics related to demographic change and its effect on the labour market and social security, on health issues, on the development of new products and markets and on changing lifestyles in society.
However, the congress will do more than simply address such topics. Rather, by establishing a wide platform for a broad audience and bringing together over 100 specialists from different spheres of society and numerous academic disciplines, the World Demographic & Ageing Forum will provide the framework for the development of innovative solutions in the realms of public policy, business, health and academia.
The topics of the World Ageing & Generations Congress are organised around five core topics:
- Markets & Work
- Life & Health
- Policy & Development
- Society & Welfare
These issues will be discussed in Keynote Speeches, Plenary Panels, Special Sessions and Side Events.
