  • Japan: What we can learn from the nation's ageing population timebomb

    Japan: What we can learn from the nation's ageing population timebomb
    Nov 30 2023

    We are joined for this latest Agetech World podcast by Dr Iza Kavedžija, an Assistant Professor of Medical Anthropology in the Department of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University in the UK.


    Among her main research interests is exploring the lived experience of ageing in urban Japan and the ways in which older people construct a meaningful and satisfying life.. 

     

    In this podcast Dr Kavedžija discusses her work; the challenges Japan is facing with its top-heavy demographic where nearly 30% of the country's 125m population is weighted towards older people; and what other nations may be able to learn from the Japanese when it comes to dealing with ageing populations.

    Harnessing the power of technology for impact with people in later life - Hannah Thomson, Founder CEO of The Joy Club
    Sep 14 2023
    Hannah Thomson is the founder and CEO of The Joy Club, an online membership community for older people harnessing the power of technology to offer live events, videos, mood-boosting articles, and the chance to meet like-minded people. On a mission to end social isolation amongst people in later life, Hannah talks to Agetech World about how her late Granny Jean inspired her to launch The Joy Club, why everyone deserves a happy and fulfilling retirement, addressing the loneliness epidemic, and why a link-up with the NHS could have 'huge benefits' for all.
