Dr. Margaret Buckley & Dr. Conor Cashman presented a paper at the annual conference of the British Society of Gerontology.
Dr Margaret Buckley and Dr Conor Cashman recently presented their research at the 54th Annual British Society of Gerontology Conference in the University of Surrey.
Their presentation, entitled Living Standards: Towards a Retirement Living Standards Methodology for Ireland, described their research which examines methodologies and approaches in understanding the current trajectory of efforts to measure, understand and communicate retirement living standards. Currently, measures rely mainly on statistical and actuarial analysis, while this research suggests that a mixed methods intergenerational participatory approach would help to establish a set of retirement living standards that include people from all social, economic and cultural backgrounds and would help in developing a deep understanding of the issues facing people in retirement and potential avenues to address them.
