In a rare European-Asian interdisciplinary cross section world renowned
experts present their riveting findings on the “Impact of Ageing”.They
draw our attention to the latest findings and data in demography, economy
and society, law and social welfare, as well as biomedicine. Unique is
their description of both mutuality and divergence in the progress of
ageing in European and Asian population trends that will transform the
world in fundamental ways by 2050.
Demographic data provide us with important insights into the ratio of
“young-old” to “old-old”; we are drawn to the economic challenges of this
“silver generation” and learn about a new agenda of age-friendly
employment policies; we enlarge our knowledge on the health status of the
elderly and become insiders to the biomedical leap progress in restoring
our impaired immune system, all to retard ageing and elongate our
lifespan.
