Learn about the impact of low birth rates and the increasing elderly population on Taiwan's social structure. Discover strategies for preparing for this demographic shift and avoiding the "abandonment of the elderly" seen in other countries. Benefit from Professor Kuo's nearly 30 years of experience in gerontology in Taiwan and the United States as she guides viewers through this pressing societal issue. Gain insights into active aging, elderly welfare, and innovative approaches such as life review programs, intergenerational learning, cognitive decline prevention, and activity prescriptions for dementia patients.
