Ageing populations and care ecosystems: Policy complementarity, substitution and disconnect London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Faculty of Public Health and Policy seminar series
Global ageing is a phenomenon that created considerable opportunities as well as significant challenges. Longevity and increases in healthy years generate a range of societal and individual benefits. However, not all extra years of life are spent in good health.
In this seminar, Professor Shereen Hussein will provide an overview of global ageing followed by an interpretation of the care ecosystems drawing examples from high-income and low- and middle-income countries. She will mainly explore the dynamical relationship between formal and informal care spheres as two vital interactive components of an overall ecosystem.
