Improving Elderly Welfare: Suggestions for Taiwan’s Aging Population
The current global trend of aging populations is inevitable, and Taiwan is at the forefront of this trend. According to the National Development Council, Taiwan’s population of people aged 65 and above has already exceeded three million, accounting for 12.74% of the total population. This number continues to grow, and Taiwan’s elderly population is expected to continue to increase in the coming decades.
However, Taiwan’s long-term care environment and elderly welfare still have many shortcomings. Many seniors rely on family members or caregivers for care, but due to the imperfect long-term care system and the pressure of an aging population, these care resources are often insufficient, leading to inadequate care and support for the elderly.
So, what measures can we take to improve this situation? Here are some suggestions:
Increase resources and efficiency of the long-term care system: The government should strengthen support and investment in the long-term care system to improve the quality and efficiency of long-term care services. At the same time, training and professional skills of long-term care personnel should be improved to provide better care services.
Increase community support: Communities should strengthen their support and care for the elderly by providing more community activities and health services to help them maintain a healthy and positive attitude towards life. Additionally, communities should enhance care and concern for the elderly and encourage community members to participate, forming a mutual care network.
Promote smart long-term care: Smart long-term care uses technology to help manage and care for the elderly, which can improve the quality and efficiency of care. The government and businesses can increase investment and promotion of smart long-term care, allowing more elderly people to benefit from this care model.
In short, the construction of the long-term care system and improvement of elderly welfare is a long-term task that requires the efforts and participation of the government, businesses, and society. We need to strengthen care and concern for the elderly, provide more support and assistance, and enable them to live healthy, happy, and dignified lives.
