UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES OF POPULATION AGEING
UNMET needS
Two-thirds of the real needs and most significant threats to older people’s well-being, independence or health are either not reported or reported late
This results in unnecessary pain, suffering and reduced independence for millions of older people
EDUCATION
Most people who provide care to older people; family carers, volunteers, paid care workers and health care professionals are not well trained to understand the complexity of older people’s needs
As a consequence care givers are often undervalued, frustrated and unable to deliver the best care for the older person
iNFORMATION
Policy-makers, commissioners and providers of products and services are poorly informed about what really matters to older people for their well-being, independence & health
Valuable resources are wasted and full economic potential is not achieved
