2014 Special Theme: Diversity in Aging
A special focus of this year''s conference will be "Diversity and Aging." This focus seeks to explore the social and cultural diversity in later life in the topic areas of sexuality, ethnicity, culture, gender and health. There are two main questions that also arise in relation diversity and aging. The first is, what are the experiences of aging that tend to be marginalized in research and practice? The second is, how do we challenge the ideas and concepts about the aging process and seek out new ways of understanding aging? Exploring these issues and questions will shed light on the complex and dynamic nature of experiences of aging and address gaps in existing research and knowledge.

China's New Demographic Reality: Learning from the 2010 Census
- Lecture by Yong Cai, University of North Carolina
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10367
In this talk, an overview of some demographic trends in China revealed by the 2010 census will be presented. The 2010 census suggests that China has entered a new demographic era characterized with prolonged low fertility, rapid aging, elevated sex ratios, fast urbanization and major geographic redistribution. Moverover, Professor Cai will examine the demographic processes behind these new trends and discuss their socioeconomic and political implications.
Yong Cai is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a social demographer with a research focus on population in China, including the factors behind China’s below replacement fertility, the rise and the future of China’s sex imbalance, and the socioeconomic impacts of China’s rapid aging. His articles have appeared in Demography, Population and Development Review, Asian Population Studiesand other scholarly journals, and his research has been featured and quoted in Science, New York Times and other Western and Chinese media.
