Dossier on "Old Age" in HSG Focus

20 February 2017. The borderlines of old age are dynamic. Many senior citizens are extremely active and enjoy their state of being "retired but not tired". Our dossier provides perspectives on the topic of "Old Age" in the 21st century. A selection of titles:

• "Ageing is (not) fun"
• "The rejuvenation biotechnology industry is arriving"
• "60 is gradually turning into the new 40"
• "In what state are our OASI and our pension funds?"
• "Our standardised life cycle in modern working society"
• "The right to information at the end of life"
• "There is a need for attractive working conditions in the care sector"

The "Campus" section includes articles on a study about how digital natives deal with information from the internet, on the retirement of Professors Günter Müller-Stewens and Roland Kley, as well as on the 30th birthday of the HSG student association oikos, which has been campaigning for a sustainable economy ever since 1987 and has been copied numerous times at universities at home and abroad. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s oldest legal research project – the compendium of Swiss sources of law – is being coordinated from the University of St.Gallen between 2017 and 2020.
