Jonny: Looming Challenge: A World Growing Older, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Graying populations are a global phenomenon, but a looming challenge for developed regions. As life expectancy soars, the number of older adults is outpacing younger generations. Imagine a pyramid flipped upside down that's the population shift we face. This trend puts a strain on social support systems designed for a younger demographic. Chronic illnesses, once rare in old age, are becoming more common. The good news? Palliative care offers a path forward. This approach focuses on symptom management and improving quality of life for those with advanced illnesses. By prioritizing palliative care, we can ensure our aging population receives the dignity and comfort they deserve, even as societies adapt to this new reality.
