Demographic change is a challenge for the sustainable development in Arctic areas. Thematic Network on Ageing and gender in the Arctic focuses on socio-cultural sustainability, wellbeing, equality of the ageing people.
The goal of the Thematic Network on Ageing and Gender in the Arctic is to build a knowledge base on ageing and gender research in the Arctic context.
This network will strengthen knowledge on gendered nature of ageing in the Arctic, ageism, inequality in decision-making and the meaning of traditional knowledge for the resilience of the local and Arctic communities. This group is interested in learning about the manifestation of changes in the Arctic in relation to age, gender, ethnicity and indigeneity.
