Dealing with an aging society is one of the major challenges governments and businesses currently face. People tend to live longer and take more precautions for their old age provision. Differences in life courses between young people and previous generations are increasing, and social security expenditure is lowered in several western countries. These issues become increasingly important to our society. As such, it gives you great research and job opportunities. The one-year Master's programme Economics and Finance of Aging is the right choice to take on this challenge. This programme is very broad and applies different perspectives like finance, economics and econometrics to analyse aging related problems. The programme is embedded in Netspar, Network for studies on Pensions, Aging and Retirement, located at Tilburg University. Top lecturers of the affliated universities are involved in the Master's and specialists from the private and public partners give guest lectures. Furthermore, students will visit partner organisations and participate in workshops and other Netspar events.
