Event: Ageing Asia: Trends, Implications and Policy Directions - a podcast by La Trobe Asia

The population of Asia is ageing rapidly. People are living longer than in the past, and coping with this problem requires thoughtful social security and balancing the interests of different generations.

Although nations in the region each have unique characteristics, there are overall trends associated with population ageing, which raise implications that extend across most nations in Asia.

Speaker:

Professor Thomas Klassen (School of Public Policy and Administration at York University, Canada).

Recorded at La Trobe University (City Campus) on 21st March 2018, in an event co-hosted by the John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research.
