Ageing in a developing country and its effects on intra-household resource allocation

印度尼西亚是我们最大的邻国和第三大艾滋病接受国，是东南亚老年人口增长最快的国家之一。正在进行的文化和经济变革意味着，老年人对家庭支持的传统依赖正在瓦解，使该国的社会结构脆弱不堪。在家庭一级了解老龄化、健康不良和劳动力市场反应之间的联系，是有效干预年龄和贫穷之间的联系并成功地制定促进提高妇女社会地位的政策的途径。

Indonesia, our largest neighbour and our third largest recipient of AID, is among the fastest-growing elderly populations in Southeast Asia. Ongoing cultural and economic change means that the traditional reliance of elderly on family support is breaking down leaving the country's social fabric vulnerable. Understanding the linkages between ageing, ill-health and the labour market responses at the household level is the path to effectively intervene in the link between age and poverty and to successfully design policy that facilitates improvements in women's social status.
