Summary
Population aging’s escalating economic and social costs in Asia and globally is attracting growing attention from policy makers and researchers, reflecting the importance of maximizing the socioeconomic contributions of the elderly to ensure sustainable development. The development of welfare and support systems that can accommodate aging populations is increasingly urgent, but is complicated, in part, by differences from traditional familial care practices.
Cohosted by JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游I and the Asian Development Bank (JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游) this virtual forum will explore elderly care system development challenges and opportunities in Asia and related policy issues.
