Welcome

The Aging Policy and Politics Group is a group of political scientists and others who are interested in aging policy and politics. We sponsor one or two panels at the annual meetings of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and attempt to provide a way for political scientists interested in aging policy and politics to connect with each other.
