Planning for an Older Population
The increasing longevity of the human population is a longstanding demographic phenomenon, but one which is now viewed as a threat to national prosperity as the retired sector grows and the proportion of people in the workforce declines. How to provide appropriate living conditions and health care for people well beyond the traditional three-score years and ten is a planning challenge which this seminar takes up.
