Summary:

This book, published by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), examines the rapid ageing of populations in the Asia-Pacific region and its social, economic, and policy implications. It highlights the increasing proportion of older individuals, projected to rise significantly by 2025, and explores the challenges this demographic shift poses to traditional systems of care, labor markets, health services, and social protection. The publication features successful practices and case studies, including Australia's strategic policy for ageing, HelpAge India's emergency support for older persons, and Singapore's Tsao Foundation's integrated care model. It is intended for policymakers, researchers, and organizations focusing on ageing, offering insights into adapting to the realities of an ageing population and ensuring sustainable development and improved quality of life for older adults.
