Tóm tắt : | 34 p. One of the most important demographic trends facing Europe is the ageing of its population. This policy brief considers the implications of this process for health and long-term care, including the funds available for health care and the expenditure required. It discusses a series of policy options that can be considered when responding to the challenge of an ageing population. Without making specific recommendations, it is noted that on the basis of the available research evidence, a promising option is to promote healthy ageing. When elderly people are in good health, it is shown that they will need fewer health care resources and are also more likely to remain in the labour force.Policies that allow a healthy ageing of the population include a better coordination of health and long-term care services and enhanced prevention services. |
