Old age doesn’t start before 80. Govts must help the elderly contribute to the economy

Older people will need to be trained in new technology so that they can take their part in the economy. There needs to be tailored planning for both urban areas and rural areas. In 2005, Professor Ian Robertson had said that old age begins at 80. It was a major departure from the past belief that aging starts at 50. If 50 to 80-year-olds are to be part of active life, this phase would be longer than a person’s youth. Therefore, Robertson suggests that we need to invent a new approach to living for this extended period. Robertson began studying the effects of aging on the human … Continue reading Old age doesn’t start before 80. Govts must help the elderly contribute to the economy
