課程概述 |
Population aging is a global trend, especially in East Asia. Population aged 65 and over will reach 20% of the total population in 2025 in Taiwan. Though the total number of aged population is relatively small compared to developed countries, the speed of population aging is one of the fastest in the world, thus leaving Taiwan less time to prepare policies and re-construct an aged society.
Aging related social policies are major challenges for many countries. This course will introduce various policy areas among different countries. For example, health and mental health, social care, economic security, life long learning, senior employment, voluntary services, age-friendly community development, social sustainability and SDGs, etc.
Teaching methods include lectures, invited speakers, field visits, group discussions and independent learning. This course will also aim to engage students in active participation. Students are free to share their life experiences and policy opinions in class, so to facilitate mutual learning. |

b. The students will develop capacity to do ageing social policy analysis and policy practice.
