Center for the Study of Aging
The RAND Center for the Study of Aging conducts objective, independent, behavioral research on the elderly population. The Center's interdisciplinary research staff aims to help improve public policy through both primary data collection and secondary data analysis. Its research agenda focuses on the interrelationships among health, economic status, socioeconomic factors, and public policy. The Center is housed within RAND Labor and Population.
