Event Details

Jen-Hao Chen is a professor in the Department of Sociology at National Chengchi University, where his research examines family, health disparities and social relationships across the life course. His current work focuses on inequality in the onset of disability among minoritized populations in the United States, and on family relationships and health disparities in Taiwan. He serves as an associate editor of the European Journal of Ageing and of Population Research and Policy Review, and is a co-principal investigator of the Taiwan Panel Study of Family Dynamics.

Drawing on data from the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging, this seminar examines ethnic differences in physical limitations, daily functioning and depression among older adults in Taiwan. By exploring how ageing trajectories vary between Taiwanese and Mainland older adults, it highlights the role of institutional and life course factors in shaping health disparities, offering new perspectives for ageing research and social policy.

Registration closes on 28 August 2026.
