On 10-11 February 2009, I participated in the Workshop on Ageing and Gender
in Southeast Asia held at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS)
in Singapore. I
presented another co-authored paper with Professor Wade D. Pfau (GRIPS),
namely "A Gender Perspective on Elderly Work in Vietnam". Papers on other
countries in the SEA region were also shared and discussed. A book gathering
all papers from the workshop will be published in this year. |
