Wenyi's academic pursuits are deeply rooted in understanding the health inequalities faced by older adults due to socioeconomic disparities. She is passionately committed to identifying interventions to address these pressing issues. A significant area of her research expertise is the measurement of time use in social participation. Central to her work is the aim to enhance the well-being of older adults, with a special emphasis on mental health and fostering social engagement.

During the visit, Wenyi plans to explore in more detail the time use of older adults and its regional and gender differences in China.
