I'm trying to track down specifics on what I'm told is a database
which is being built containing data on aging (i.e., income,
resources, health, etc.) from numerous countries around the
world. I've had leads at the U.S. Census Bureau, Vanderbilt
University, and Michigan (or maybe Michigan State). Something's
been said about a Consortium of universities and/or other
organizations (possibly government agencies) to set up and
manage this database.
The idea, I'm told, is to maintain both statistical and
narrative information related to aging, so that, for example,
changes in income can be correlated with legislative changes
in social security or other income support programs.
Sorry to be so vague. :-)
Does anyone have more specifics, including contact people
on this? More importantly, is this database to be an Internet
resource? If so, where? Etc? Etc?
Thanks
