Evaluating processes and outcomes of age-friendly standards: the case study of public transport. Age-friendly standards are being developed worldwide in anticipation of a major demographic shift in the next few decades. The aim of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate age-friendly standards. Public transport will be used as a case study.

Age-friendly standards are being developed worldwide in anticipation of a major demographic shift in the next few decades. The aim of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate age-friendly standards. Public transport will be used as a case study. Outcomes of this project not only include evidence about the effectiveness of age-friendly standards and the processes used in their development, but also theory development surrounding universalism (that is whether age-friendly standards are people-friendly standards) and whether current disability standards include older people.Read moreRead less

The ARC Research Network on Ageing Well will support interdisciplinary, high quality research in the National Research Priority Goal of Ageing Well, Ageing Productively. It will build scale and focus on Australia's notable research strengths in ageing, promote collaborative research, and extend research capacities. The Network will link outstanding researchers from many disciplines, nurture developing researchers, relate social to health researchers, strengthen international collaboration, and involve and inform end-point users. It will foster research which responds to the aspirations and needs of older Australians and informs action that can improve experiences of individual and population ageing.Read moreRead less

Summary
Ageing Well Research Network. Ageing is one of the most significant changes facing Australia. It is essential that Australia plans to achieve the opportunities as well as meet the challenges of ageing. The ARC Ageing Well Research Network will concentrate on the National Research Priority area 'Ageing Well, Ageing Productively'. It will generate innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches necessary to understand ageing people, relations between age groups, and the economic, social, and policy con ....Ageing Well Research Network. Ageing is one of the most significant changes facing Australia. It is essential that Australia plans to achieve the opportunities as well as meet the challenges of ageing. The ARC Ageing Well Research Network will concentrate on the National Research Priority area 'Ageing Well, Ageing Productively'. It will generate innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches necessary to understand ageing people, relations between age groups, and the economic, social, and policy contexts that shape ageing experiences. It will bring together researchers and end-point users - including governments, consumers, employers, and service providers - informing research agendas as well as translating and applying findings to national goals.Read moreRead less
