Update on GeroNet – what has happened since last year?

Keynote by Professor Martin Hyde, School of Business, University of Leicester, UK on Beyond the silver economy: Critical reflections on productive ageing and extended working lives

His presentation critically examines the discourse of productive ageing and the policy push toward extended working lives within the framework of the silver economy. Drawing on insights from critical gerontology, it interrogates the assumptions underpinning later-life work, highlighting issues of inequality, agency, and the commodification of older age.

• Deborah Finkel, Professor HHJ: Both childhood and adult perceived financial strain impact age trajectories of change in emotional health in late adulthood
• Ernesto Abalo Caldera, Associate professor HLK: Digital user interfaces in the Swedish public sector: factors of inclusion or exclusion for older adults?
• Lucia Pizzichini, Assistant professor JIBS, Enhancing elderly well-being through phygital experience in retailing pharmacies
