Janet Jock studies how social welfare programs, such as government pensions and child support grants, affect the health and wellbeing of older adults and families, with much of the work focused on rural South Africa. Recent projects examine how pension eligibility relates to outcomes like memory decline, dementia risk, blood pressure, and alcohol use. Earlier work also touched on public goods provision and governance of shared resources.
