Aging Observatory is a research practice that studies how people grow older across time, context, and circumstance.

Its work centers on the years between 45 and 60, a formative window in which work, housing, caregiving, technology, and identity decisions actively shape the future of aging.

The Observatory equips decision-makers with structured ethnographic intelligence to design policies, services, and systems rooted in real lives.

“The social scientific study of aging is a vibrant field of inquiry and motivated by much more than just population aging.”
