Kerala’s population is ageing quickly. The nature of work is changing. Patterns of migration out of, into and back to the state are shifting. Each of these is usually discussed on its own. The Kerala Policy Conclave brings them together, because their effects on families, public finances and the economy are closely connected.
Day one: a society growing older
- Opening address
- Panel: Who will care for Kerala’s older citizens?
- Panel: Pensions, health costs and public finances
- Presentation of CRGD’s brief on a care guarantee
Day two: work and migration
- Panel: The Gulf comes home
- Panel: Women, work and the missing growth engine
- Panel: Workers from other states in Kerala’s economy
- Closing session: an agenda for the next five years
Who should attend
Policy makers, officials, researchers, employers, trade unions, civil society organisations, journalists and students.
