It is predicted that by 2030, 20% of the US population will be elderly,
which means that eldercare has become something that the country cannot afford to ignore.
Eldercare is meant to help seniors live a comfortable and enjoyable life,
but the cost of eldercare is high and can be a huge burden for poorer seniors,
so it’s important to plan early and save for it through pensions and Social Security. If you don’t have the money, long-term care insurance is also a good option.
Creating an environment where older adults can support themselves
As the world’s population ages, what to do with the growing number of elderly people is an issue.
One Thai activist believes that the community should take an active role and propose solutions.
So he created a vegetable garden on the grounds of a temple, with the elderly helping in the process,
providing income and livelihood for the elderly.
Project for the elderly in eastern Thailand
This project in eastern Thailand aims to provide a way for people aged 60 and over to contribute to society and earn a living for themselves.
The project will be expanded across the country in the future.
