Policy and Aging

Policy and aging refers to the strategies and regulations created by governments to address the needs of an increasing number of older adults in society. As populations age, these policies focus on healthcare, retirement benefits, housing, and social services to ensure that seniors can live healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives. Effective aging policies aim to support the elderly's independence and well-being while also considering economic impacts, workforce needs, and intergenerational relationships. By planning ahead, societies can better manage the challenges and opportunities presented by an aging population.
