Europe's ageing population is 'an immense opportunity'

Steve Hards

This is not a telecare/telehealth article by Malcolm Fisk, but the headline is a sentiment with which many Telecare Aware readers will agree. It also concludes that “An ageing population is only a problem if workplaces and attitudes do not evolve in ways that facilitate the greater involvement and engagement of older people.” It’s a good point, even if ‘engagement’ is one of those comfortably vague words over which the brain slips. Europe’s ageing population is ‘an immense opportunity’ (Public Service Europe) is actually a heads-up on the establishment of the Age Research Centre at Coventry University, for which I cannot find a web page. Try this web page instead. It’s undated, but may be current.
