#HealthyConversationSkills is about creating spaces in our everyday practice (and lives!) to talk about what makes us happier and healthier. This also appreciates that there are barriers to happier, healthier lives for too many people.

Also under the #ChangingPopulations spotlight is PhD student Yifan Ge

In section 12, she tells us about her PhD journey, sharing insights into her research identifying the subgroups of women most affected by recent increases in the UK #StatePension age 🔦

Image shows PhD student Yifan Ge with an article about her PhD journey, with the intro: Yifan Ge is a PhD student funded by Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) and the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP), based in the Department of Gerontology at the University of Southampton. Her research aims to use linked administrative data and survey datasets to identify the subgroups of women most affected by the recent increases in the UK State Pension Age. Yifan’s PhD project is supervised by Professor Athina Vlachantoni and Professor Jane Falkingham. Here, she shares insights into her research so far. "My interest in research on welfare and pension systems began during a module called Wicked Problems: Clumsy Solutions – Leadership in Healthcare while I was pursuing my bachelor's degree at the University of Manchester. At that time, the world was grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic. Beyond the scheduled curriculum, the lecturer, Dr Lawrence Benson, also introduced updated knowledge and practical experiences from the healthcare industry. Older people faced significant challenges during this period. I was fortunate to have had an insightful discussion with Dr Benson about the pension systems in the UK and China, which are among the most critical factors influencing quality of life and health status. Following that, I obtained my master’s degree from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, which allowed me to deepen my skills in data analysis and complete a dissertation on the health impacts of delayed retirement in China.
