Addressing the Health Needs of an Aging America: New Opportunities for Evidence-Based Policy Solutions

This report systematically maps research findings to policy proposals intended to improve the health of the elderly. The study identified promising evidence-based policies, like those supporting prevention and care coordination, as well as areas where the research evidence is strong but policy activity is low, such as patient self-management and palliative care. Future work of the Stern Center will focus on these topics as well as long-term care financing, the health care workforce, and the role of family caregivers

The path to healthy ageing in China: a Peking University–Lancet Commission

Key messages • China has the world's largest older population; achieving healthy ageing is necessary for China to reap positive benefits from increased longevity and to reduce potential economic and social burdens that could accompany rapid population ageing // • As non-communicable diseases become a greater concern, it is important for policy to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles and behaviours to improve health status at older ages // • China's health-care delivery system needs to notably strengthen primary health care and move towards integrated delivery to improve access and quality of care for older patients // • China has successfully reduced old-age dependency by pushing for age-friendly communities and home environments; however, more improvements are necessary to prevent a substantial increase in the number of people needing care // • China's social and demographic changes necessitate finding substitutes to family-based care and helping families take care of their older members; to that end, China needs to train and retain a new cadre of home care workers, nurses, social workers, and geriatricians // • China's public health insurance and long-term care insurance should move towards national-level risk pooling to reduce inequality in benefits and facilitate the mobility of older peopl

Perspectives and Theories of Social Innovation for Ageing Population

In recent years we may observe increasing interest in the development of social innovation both regarding theory as well as the practice of responding to social problems and challenges. One of the crucial challenges at the beginning of the 21st century is population ageing. Various new and innovative initiatives, programs, schemes, and projects to respond to negative consequences of this demographic process are emerging around the world. However, social theories related to ageing are still insufficiently combined with these new practices, social movements, organisational models, and institutions. Many scholars are still using notions and tools from classical theories of social gerontology or the sociology of ageing such as disengagement theory, activity theory, and successful and productive ageing. Such theories do not sufficiently explain ageing in the context of, for example, a broad use of the information and communications technologies (ICTs) including robotics and automation, new healthcare and long-term care models, advancements in the development and governance of age-friendly environments, and public engagement of older adults into co-production of services delivered by public, private, non-governmental as well as non-formal entities
