Meeting the needs of older persons in Indonesia

该项目旨在确定印度尼西亚农村地区老年人在收入、住房、保健、日常护理和社会交往方面的需求，以及他们的需求得到满足的程度。它还考虑了现有政策方案的有效性以及如何改进这些方案。今天，60岁及以上的波斯尼亚人有2 200万，预计到2035年将增加到4 800万。数以百万计的老年人生活在农村地区，而年轻人则从农村地区迁往迅速发展的城市。这对印度尼西亚传统的以家庭为基础的老年护理系统提出了挑战。预计研究结果将在提交印度尼西亚国家发展规划委员会的一系列政策文件中发表。

The project aims to identify the needs of older people in rural Indonesia for income, housing, health, daily care and social interaction and the extent to which their needs are met. It also considers the efficacy of existing policy programs and how these might be improved. Today, there are 22 million Indonesians aged 60 years and over, projected to rise to 48 million by 2035. Millions of older people live in rural areas from which younger people have moved to the rapidly growing cities. This presents challenges for the traditional family-based aged care system in Indonesia. It is expected that findings from the study will be published in a series of policy papers to be presented in the Indonesian National Development Planning Board.
