معرفی
Dan Orsholits is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the LIVES Centre, University of Geneva, specializing in interdisciplinary gerontological research with a focus on social determinants of aging across diverse populations including European nations, South Africa, and Indonesia.
His research examines life course dynamics through the lens of vulnerability and resilience, investigating how welfare regimes moderate socioeconomic influences on cognitive aging. Key methodologies include longitudinal panel data analysis and cross-national comparative frameworks, with recurring themes of residential trajectories, labor market transitions, and health inequality mechanisms.
Recent publications reveal consistent patterns in how social protection systems shape aging outcomes, demonstrating that robust welfare states attenuate negative effects of low education and occupational status on cognitive decline. His work identifies policy pathways for reducing health disparities among aging populations through structural interventions.
As an active member of the LIVES Centre (Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research), Dr. Orsholits contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations integrating sociology, epidemiology, and gerontology to develop comprehensive models of life course vulnerability and resilience mechanisms.
