A large aging population, like here in Nebraska, has an impact on a variety of public policies and facets of life for all ages. Two Nebraska researchers will introduce a variety of data sources and resources on aging adults, review gaps in knowledge about this population, and share efforts to build a stronger evidence base about the policy impacts of aging.
