KIHASA-EWC Conference, December 3, 2019, Seoul, Korea

Members of the Counting Women’s Work and National Transfer Accounts projects presented research at a joint conference in Seoul, hosted by the Korea Institute of Health and Social Welfare (KIHASA) of Korea and the East-West Center (EWC) of the United States.

The theme of the one-day conference is “Challenges and Policy Responses to Population Aging.” Gretchen Donehower, the principal investigator of CWW will speak on unpaid care work, while members of NTA teams from the United States, Korea, Japan, and Spain will discuss what NTA estimates tell us about how aging will impact productivity, consumption, public and private transfer systems, and economic growth, and what policies are available to maximize desirable outcomes.
