Can you imagine the life of octogenarians, nonagenarians, or centenarians? It may be difficult if you do not have any limitations on daily activities. But we are much more likely than our ancestors – even our parents or grandparents – to live to such an age. The increase in the number of older adults is accompanied by a rise in the number of people with care needs. How can we cope with the expanding care needs in the era of population ageing?
This book deals with two critical issues that accompany population ageing: long-term care systems (discussed in Part I of the book) and the cross-border movement of long-term care workers (Part II of the book) – focusing on Asia, where the population is ageing at the fastest pace in the world. The book provides basic information that will be useful for further dialogue and international collaboration on improvement of the quality and sustainability of long-term care systems without leaving any older adult behind.
