Healthcare and Ageing Society

Ageing Society | Long-term Care | Healthcare | Demographic Shift | Ageing Population

Asia is facing a massive demographic shift. By 2050, the number of people in Asia who are aged 65 or older is expected to grow to 937 million people—more than double today's number. ERIA is conducting various projects related to long-term care and ageing society in a bid to support policymaking decisions to overcome the challenges of the ageing population boom in ASEAN and East Asia.
