17 November 2023
Online and Bank of Spain, Madrid
EIEF announced the conference, jointly organized by the Bank of Spain-Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI), and the Global Economic Challenges Network at Georgetown University. Many economies are confronting the economic and social realities accompanying an increasingly older population and workforce. While many of these factors are associated with funding retirement and pensions, there are also the social costs associated with the difficulties resulting from loss of professional identity and economic security, as well as the financial burden of providing and funding health care for the elderly. This all-day conference brought together some of the world’s leading experts on the economic issues related to aging. Eight academic presentations addressed trends and drivers in the inequality of mortality; retirement security and health insurance; workforce aging, skill decline, and the organization of work; and a macro perspective on aging and growth. The presentations were followed by a panel discussion moderated by Ángel Gavilán, director general for economics, statistics and research at the Bank of Spain.

All critical elements of the economy and society will have to undergo reforms to help Ukraine escape the post-Soviet legacy and become a full-fledged democracy with a modern economy, strong institutions, and a powerful defense sector. This presentation and discussion, based on the CEPR Paris Report: Rebuilding Ukraine: Principles and Policies (2022), addressed opportunities and challenges in this effort.
