Active Ageing Index in Korea – Comparison with China and EU countries - Um - 2019 - Asian Social Work and Policy Review - Wiley Online Library

Submitted by pmassetti on

The evidence‐based policymaking relies on the use and robustness of the available data. Many conceptual and operational difficulties restrict this process, not least in making use of evidence to identify policy priorities. The Active Ageing Index (AAI), developed originally for the 28 European Union countries, offers a strong motivation in this respect. This paper reports on the development of the AAI for Korea, a country where speed and level of population aging is among the highest in the world.

Submitted by delziniy on

As populations age over the next several decades, the demand for long-term care (LTC) services (assisting individuals with their activities of daily life) will increase dramatically and is likely to reach crisis levels in many countries. Societies will have to confront this emerging need because historical methods for providing and financing LTC may not be adequate to address future LTC needs.

L’assurance autonomie: Une innovation essentielle pour répondre aux défi s du vieillissement

Submitted by delziniy on

The aging population and the epidemic of chronic diseases requires an accompanying fi nance reform of long-term care
that will become increasingly dominant. Many countries have faced this situation and have set up a separate public

GRANDEURS ET MISÈRES DE L'ALLOCATION PERSONNALISÉE D'AUTONOMIE EN FRANCE

Submitted by delziniy on

Le vieillissement de la population et la pandémie de maladies chroniques
qui l’accompagne obligent à prioriser le financement des soins à long terme
qui deviendront de plus en plus importants. De nombreux pays ayant fait
face à cette situation ont mis sur pied un financement public distinct via une
assurance universelle couvrant les soins à domicile et en institution comme
c’est le cas en France avec l’Allocation personnalisée d’autonomie (APA).

Graying Asia: How Pension Systems Fail to Respond to Dramatic Aging

Submitted by dfabbri on

Tthenewslens (12.03.2019) he past few years have seen workers in Asia becoming increasingly restive and concerned over pensions. Demands for reform have erupted into street protests in China, French Polynesia, India, New Zealand, and everywhere in between. The Asia-Pacific has a relatively young population with a high ratio of workers to dependents – i.e., children and the elderly – and this has contributed substantially to the region’s sustained rapid economic growth in the past few decades.
