SustAgeable: Economic and social sustainability across time and space in an ageing society

Date of project : 2021 - Project ongoing

The SustAgeable research consortium seeks solutions to ensure wellbeing and protect the financial sustainability of the welfare state in the future. The consortium provides evidence on how different policy measures can effectively mitigate the undesirable consequences of population ageing for public finances, inequality, and overall wellbeing.

Sustageable

The research is divided into five themes:

  • Distribution of wellbeing
  • Working lives
  • Migration
  • Care
  • Social and healthcare expenditure

Research Professor Tomi Kyyrä is responsible for the theme on working lives. VATT researchers are also involved in the theme on migration.

In addition to VATT, the SustAgeable consortium includes the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), Labore, the Finnish Centre for Pensions, the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Helsinki, and MDI.

The research is funded by: The Strategic Research Council
