HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDIES
AROUND THE WORLD

Our Harmonization Network fosters multilateral exchange of knowledge and experience in a world with different cultures, histories, and policies. A key characteristic of the participating studies is dynamic innovation, which creates a constant flow of opportunities for harmonization. Network members participate in annual meetings to foster collaboration and harmonization of data elements and methods. They also participate in supporting small scale pilots that explore avenues to conduct feasibility studies to bring new innovations in survey content or methodology, or establish comparability for cross-national research to reinforce member requests for support when engaging their local funding agencies. Learn more about the studies that participate in our Network of global aging surveys that are committed to harmonizing the collection of data on health and retirement in their respective countries, to facilitate cross-national comparisons:
