| 10:00am–10:20am | Keynote/setting the stage |
| Lisa Berkman (Harvard University) | |
| 10:20am–11:40am | Session 1: How inequality (income, wealth, access to opportunities or resources) affects health and well‐being of older populations in LMICs |

| Guiding Questions: How does income inequality affect health and wellbeing of older populations in LMICs in the context of changing and evolving economies? How are changes in the nature of work influencing disability, dementia, and mortality? Are there trends, are they actionable? |
|
| 11:40am–12:35pm | Lunch Break |
| 12:35pm–1:55pm | Session 2: Identify new conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and/or data investments that are needed to move from purely descriptive cross-national analyses to more causal analyses that create a better understanding of how inequality, |

|
| Discussant: Hans Peter Kohler (University of Pennsylvania) |
|
| Moderator: Ayaga Bawah (University of Ghana, workshop planning committee member) |
|
| Guiding Question: What methods should we consider/promote for causal analyses using cross-national data? |
|
| 1:55pm–2:10pm | Break |
| 2:10pm–3:30pm | Session 3: Describe how research in LMICs can (1) create a better understanding of how different social environments and public policies influence health outcomes related to aging; and (2) provide lessons that can be used in other settings, including the United States. |
| Presenters: Collin Payne (Australian National University) David Canning (Harvard University) |
|
| Discussant: Lindsay Kobayashi (University of Michigan) |
|
| Moderator: Rebeca Wong (University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, workshop planning committee chair) |

|
| 10:35am–10:50am | Break |
| 10:50am–12:10pm | Session 5: Identify data (e.g., early‐life prospective data or retrospective data from current older cohorts; data linkages, or leverage existing cohorts established for other non-aging purposes) that may |

|
| Guiding Questions: What administrative linkages should we consider to enhance the utility of existing data? How can we continue to foster data sharing and deal with data sharing issues? What existing cohort studies might be used as samples for longitudinal studies of aging? What administrative linkages are available to enhance existing data or complement new studies? What sampling frames (including administrative data as well as censuses, etc.) are available to lower the cost of finding potential participants? What data sharing challenges do we face and what solutions are available? |
