Summary
Lei Delsen is a seasoned socio-economic policy scholar and editor focused on aging, retirement, and labour market dynamics, with a PhD from Maastricht and a long academic career at Radboud University. Now editor of Gerōn and a research fellow at Netspar, he translates rigorous research into accessible analysis on pensions, work–life balance, and the interplay between employment policy and economic performance. His work bridges academic inquiry and public engagement, examining how globalization and institutional design shape national welfare outcomes. Retired from his professorship in 2018, he continues to influence policy debates through research fellowships and editorial leadership. Based in Maastricht, he also brings interdisciplinary curiosity—evidenced by a MRes in Language Science—that enriches his analysis of how discourse and institutions affect ageing societies.
