FutureGEN
European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research: "FutureGEN is a transnational research project funded by GENDER-NET Plus, the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Swedish Research Council. It is comprised of a consortium of multi-disciplinary researchers located in three countries (Austria, Canada and Sweden).The overarching objective of FutureGEN is to build evidence on how entwined GENder inequalities in health and care-giving/receiving evolve across GENerations in connection with cultural and social contexts and individual realities, and how identified sex/gender inequalities may evolve in the FUTURE. In doing so FutureGEN will identify opportunities to achieve SDG3 and SGD5 through improved policies. [...]"

The ability to understand these global transformations requires the kind of holistic, comparative, empirically grounded theory that anthropology excels at. In placing age and generations at the center of analyses of social life, our work reconsiders the diversity of roles people of all ages occupy; the different forms of agency and political power they wield; the intersections of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and socio-economic positioning across the life course; the changing and multiple social roles of elders within families and other social groups and communities spanning across and between different societies.
