I'm a postdoctoral researcher in social gerontology, meaning the part of social sciences dealing with older people. My research mainly deals with the effects of population ageing on European welfare states. I am working at the Department of Sociology, Umea University, Sweden. Additionally, I am an associate fellow of the programme "Future Leaders of Ageing Research in Europe".
A big part of my research deals with healthy retirees ("third-agers" or "the young old"). If you would like to know more about this group of older people, then have a look at this book:
