Age and Cohort Change
The five-year ACC project received €1 million funding through the European Research Council's "European Starting Independent Researcher Grant."
Understanding the age variation in productivity and how to improve senior workers skills and capacities are paramount for aging countries. Aging and cohort change alter values and belief structures. A better understanding of these changes is needed to improve the capacity to develop more targeted policies that relate to societal aging and other demographic change.
The ACC project focuses on two major topics:
Attitudes and Beliefs
ACC researches how demographic behavior affects the distribution of beliefs and attitudes within the population More
Human Capital, Skills, and Work Performance
