May 14–15, 2026 | Location: Stewart House, 32 Russell Square, WC1B 5DN
Organized by EchO
This workshop brings together researchers exploring how to foster health through public policy, and how it shapes labour markets, productivity, and social outcomes across the life course. We welcome contributions on health inequalities, policy interventions, and the long-term impacts of health investments from childhood through old age.
EchO is Royal Holloway's economics cluster for research on household behaviour, spanning education, health, fertility, intra-household dynamics, and vulnerable populations in high and low income countries.
