Dr. Marier is a scholar in Comparative Public Policy and his research is at the crossroads of social gerontology and public policy. A key interest is the biomedicalization of aging and its ubiquitous consequences in public policy, programs, and service delivery. He also focuses on the impact of aging populations across policy fields including pensions, healthcare, and labour policy. He recently published The Four Lenses of Population Aging, a comprehensive study on how Canadian provinces are preparing themselves to face the consequences and opportunities of an aging population. Dr. Marier has also written numerous publications on the politics of pension reforms in industrialized countries.
Dr. Marier is also the Scientific Director of CREGÉS, a university research centre housed at the Integrated Health and Social Services University Network for West-Central Montreal. It is a unique centre devoted to the field of social gerontology that encourages the development of research and innovating practices. The centre has more than 50 members, 35 of which are regular members. This includes university researchers from 11 different disciplines and six Quebec universities (Concordia, Laval, McGill, Université de Montréal, UQAM and UQTR).
