Lifecourse, wellbeing and public policy in developing countries (360G-Wellcome-080452_Z_06_Z)

£3,000

Life course, wellbeing and public policy in developing countries There is a need to develop new frameworks which facilitate analysis of demographic and epidemiological change in developing countries. No substantial research, publication or meeting has sought to explore the potential of life course frameworks to this end. Bringing together academics from a range of discipline and backgrounds, this conference will provide a platform for a significant shift in understandings of wellbeing and health in developing countries. The conference will be divided into four sessions. The first of these will explore different approaches to conceptualising the life course and will consider their specific applications to developing countries. Different speakers will explore life course from clinical, sociological, anthropological and demographic perspectives. The second session will focus on aspects of life course which relate to fertility, reproduction and demographic change in developing countries. The third session will consider how life course frameworks can enhance our understanding of issues relating to health and wellbeing in developing countries, and will pay particular attention to policy implications. The meeting will conclude with a roundtable and a discussion of research and publication plans. It is planned that the workshop will lead on to an academic network on life course, health and wellbeing in developing countries, which will take the form of an electronic discussion forum as well as future meetings and projects.
