Welcome to GNARC — advancing ageing research worldwide

Global Network for Ageing Research on China/Chinese

An international network advancing research on ageing, migration, care and inequalities across diverse populations and contexts — connecting over 200 researchers worldwide.

Our Mission

We bring together researchers from around the world to advance understanding of ageing, health and well-being in China and among Chinese populations globally — including migrant and diasporic communities.

  • Share cutting-edge research on ageing, health, well-being and later-life inequalities.
  • Promote interdisciplinary dialogue on emerging theories, methods and policy challenges.
  • Support early career researchers and postgraduate students in ageing research.
  • Foster collaboration between researchers, older people, communities and policymakers.
