SUMMARY:Aging in China: Labor Participation\, Retirement\, Pension and Long-term Care Insurance
DESCRIPTION:China’s population is ageing rapidly at a rate that surpasses most of its Asian neighbors and advanced economies in the West. In 2015\, 10.5% of the population was aged 65+\, and this number is projected to grow to 26.1% by 2050. Evidencing increases in life expectancy\, the growth of the 80+ population from 22 million (or 1.5%) in 2015 to an expected 115 million (or 8.2%) by 2050 is particularly consequential. The challenges presented by the ageing of China’s population are vast and complex. This session examines the effect of ageing on economic growth\, labor market decisions and the opportunities and challenges in financing elder care to meet the needs of the ageing population. \nThis session brings together leading experts to share their research on these important issues. The session will start with a brief introduction by Winnie Yip\, followed by four presentations and commentaries and moderated discussions with discussants. There will be plenty of time for exchanges and interactions with the online audience as well. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.healtheconomics.org/page/PreCongressSessionJuly8-12pm-2pmGMT.

SUMMARY:Nancy Steinhardt - Convergence and Entanglement:  Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art\, University of Pennsylvania \nAmong approximately four hundred buildings that survive in China from the period of Mongolian rule\, 1271-1368\, about one percent have features that sharply distinguish them from the rest: a pagoda\, a minaret\, an observatory\, a mausoleum\, and rock-carved architecture are examples. The pagoda\, minaret\, and observatory are put forth in any study that seeks to prove the infiltration of foreign architecture into China during the Mongol century.\nWe are pleased to invite Professor Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art at UPenn and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania Museum\, to present part of her work on the narrative of Chinese architecture during Mongolian rule.\nThis lecture\, “Convergence and Entanglement: Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative” re-examines these buildings and their relation in the scope of Chinese architecture. The five buildings featured in this talk calls for a reconsideration of the impact of Mongolian rule on Chinese architecture\, guided by the themes of convergence and entanglement. The lecture comes as part of CAMLab Embodied Architecture project\, endeavoring to highlight the work of Chinese architects. \nNancy Steinhardt is Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania where she has taught since 1982. She received her PhD at Harvard in 1981 and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard from 1978-81. Steinhardt taught at Bryn Mawr from 1981-1982. She has broad research interests in the art and architecture of China and China’s border regions\, particularly problems that result from the interaction between Chinese art and that of peoples to the North\, Northeast\, and Northwest. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ORWTbEjCRr6ByTiAXdGwDg
