Drawing on my research on Singapore, I highlighted the role of employer beliefs, incentives, and workplace structures.
I thank the World Bank for convening this timely and important workshop. (4/4) 🥳
In my presentation, I focused on the demand side, arguing that the binding constraint often lies not in worker supply, but in employer demand and the technological and institutional factors shaping firms’ hiring, training, and retention decisions. (3/4)
Against China’s rapid demographic transition, the workshop examined how worker characteristics, employer demand, and institutional conditions jointly shape older workers’ labor market outcomes, drawing on international evidence and comparative experience. (2/4)
Yesterday, I participated in the World Bank’s Productivity Workshop, which brought together researchers and policymakers to advance the discussion on population aging. (1/3)
Submitted three panels on #aging #pension #socialsecurity and #work with colleagues. Also in an AI community that is putting up a bunch of panels on #tech and #AI in pubpol and pubadmin. Excited for #2025appam #economicsofaging (yes I am trying to get to more aging studies folks with the hashtags)

Anyone researching on economics of aging or aging studies (broadly, in demographics, pubpol, sociology, gerontology, etc.)? Would love to connect! So far my feed is interesting, but it lacks posts from the aging folks.. #agingresearch #agingstudies #economicsofaging
Back after a few months of soul-searching. Wow the bluesky now has a ton of researchers studying aging/social policy!

These people are unelected and nobody ever granted them the right to assume the executive power. The pp party leader has a law degree. Okay, how?
Unconstitutional.
What are these idiots saying.
Want your findings to replicate? Want to actually discover true things? This new study shows you should preregister, have high power, and open materials. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I’m gonna die in the Marietta meeting room. Jokes aside, I’m presenting in the first, discussing/chairing in the other ones. Please come by! #2023appam
Unionization - and threat of unionization - is good for workers generally, union members or not.
As evidenced by these positive spillover effects from union gains.

Is anyone aware of people working on the economics of long covid?
I’m especially interested in effects on:
- labour supply,
-productivity, and
-spending on health care.
Any connections will be very appreciated.
An interesting paper on gendered attrition from the academia. bookmarking*
Interested in studying for a PhD in Demography?
The demography research group at LSE (pop@LSE) is holding a showcase event on 9 November to give students an idea of what demography is, the diversity of paths that researchers have taken to studying it and funding opportunities.
This is terrifying.
got tired of doing academic CVs in TeX and made a simple and easy-to-use (r)markdown template.
hope this might be useful to some #econtwitter JMCs. let me know if you have suggestions.
