Research summary
In 2015, the Canadian population crossed a significant threshold, as those 65 years and over now outnumber those 14 years and younger. This historically unprecedented population aging requires us to rethink our policies in a way that hasn’t yet been fully integrated through all sectors of society, especially regarding social and health inequalities among older adults. Dr. Quesnel-Vallée’s research responds to these challenges. Using state-of-the-art methodology and unique new data sources, she will examine the roots of older adult health inequalities stemming from both social and health policies.
