Γήρανση, απασχόληση, ευημερία

Μεταφέρω επιστολή αναγνώστη με τίτλο “Live longer, in poverty” που δημοσιεύθηκε στην Εκόνομιστ της 21 Οκτωβρίου 2023. Ενδιαφέρει και τους νέους.

“Successive governments and businesses are failing to plan for demographic change. We are not prepared for the aged to live to 100, let alone 120 (Technology Quarterly, September 30th). Short-term reactive policymaking has contributed to workforce shortages, economic stagnation and a health and care system failing to meet our changing needs.

Future generations may not only be bored—not least if they continue to be pushed out of the employment market soon after they hit 50—they are also likely to spend longer living in poverty and with ill health. Innovations in biotech are one thing, but finding solutions to the financial, health, housing, transport and leisure needs of our ageing society is the challenge we must address first.”
