This two-day panel workshop is organized by Dipartimento di Scienze Demografiche of the
University of Rome “La Sapienza” at the European University Institute in Fiesole (Florence)-Italy,
on January 13th-14th, 2006. This meeting is supported by the Research Training Network (RTN)
“Demographic Sustainability and European Integration”, under the auspices of the Fifth Framework
Programme of the European Commission.
Scientific Background:
Studies on trends in elderly mortality and increased longevity are among the most important, also in
light of the impact on population ageing and social security and welfare schemes throughout
Europe. These demographic changes and uncertainties raise important questions about the potential
of human longevity and our collective future. In particular, the unexpected increase in longevity
gives more room to a potential increase in mortality differentials between males and females as well
as between populations. Moreover, as regards the study of elderly mortality and morbidity, an
interesting aspect is, among others, the existence of wide ranging inter-group differences.
Differences in health and mortality between both sexes are well-known, particularly in view of their
implications on demographic imbalances among the elderly and their effect on health systems and
pension schemes. Furthermore, plenty of the controversy about the life expectancy limits and
methods for studying elderly mortality continues among demographers.
The RTN team on “Mortality and survival” focused on all these aspects. In particular, it has been
developed research on: the major conceptual framework in the study of human longevity
concerning bio-social theories of ageing and senescence with very timely implications for health
care policies, pension systems and other population forecasts; the empirical advance for mortality
research; international comparison of mortality databases; the methodological improvement in the
study of survival patterns; socio-economic differentials in mortality; geographic differences in adult
and ageing mortality; integrated studies of foetal, infant, and maternal mortality and subnational
populations; mathematical modeling. In particular, the research unit of Rome “La Sapienza” added
a complementary research focus on methods of evaluating biological, social and economic
determinants of mortality and life expectancy, including both longitudinal trends and inter-countries
differences.
Thus, the aim of the workshop is to put into evidence the major results of the research developed by
the RTN team, in particular as regards mortality, longevity and population ageing.
The event:
This workshop brings together senior and young researchers (i.e. pre, post-doc and young
researchers under RTN) studying different aspects of mortality, longevity and population ageing
and favours the exchange of the latest scientific knowledge and approaches on these topics.
Moreover, the workshop aims at promoting networking between young researchers. The workshop
