“Social Protection and Growth”
The venue will be in Paris on the 9th of July 2018.
We are delighted to be issuing our public call for papers for the 2018 and Second Edition

Whether and how social protection and welfare expenses have positive or negative
effects on economics growth is still a debate among economists. Three elements give a
new momentum to that question:

productivity and efficiency in healthcare and social services.

• Ageing, economic growth and welfare economics
• From housing wealth towards productive investment

• Healthcare finance for an aging population
• Training needs in an aging society
