Research Program 2017-2024

CEPAR

Our research program will provide Australia, the greater Pacific region, and the world, with crucial new knowledge to inform social and economic responses to one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. It seeks to have a major impact on policy and business practice by providing evidence to enable individuals, business and governments to respond better to demographic change and improve wellbeing.

The research is organised into four closely interlinked streams which draw on the expertise of actuaries, demographers, economists, epidemiologists, psychologists and sociologists. The knowledge and findings generated by each project combine with others to deliver innovative and comprehensive research outputs across multiple disciplines.
