Longevity in Singapore by Dr Helen Ko
Brand: Marshall Cavendish International
Product Description
By 2030 one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 or older. The ageing population will affect all levels and arenas of Singapore society individuals families and even organisations. The financial implications of this demographic transition have been a key concern for the government. Against the above backdrop this book seeks to achieve the following. Firstly to provide readers with a better understanding of the physical and psychological changes and illnesses as they age. Secondly it looks at the infrastructure and tools to enable seniors to ageinplace as well as the necessary support and training for family and caregivers. The third aim highlights how and why we need to integrate older workers fully into the workplace as well as the changes needed to attain this goal. Finally this book emphasises that ageing should not be seen in a negative light and that there are vast opportunities and dividends that could result from longevity in the 21st century. Ultimately the goal of this book is to facilitate older adults to age gracefully in Singapore living out their golden years with dignity in the community and be given the opportunities to continue to contribute meaningfully to society and live purposeful lives.
