SUMMARY:What Do We Have in Common?: Thinking Together About Good Lives for Older Adults and Caregivers in Ageing Societies
DESCRIPTION:Hastings Center senior research scholar Nancy Berlinger will present “What Do We Have in Common?: Thinking Together About Good Lives for Older Adults and Caregivers in Ageing Societies”  in Seminar II of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Centre for Bioethics’ 10th Anniversary Celebration. \n\n\n\nPopulation ageing—a rise in the average age of a population—results from the combination of public health improvements and biomedical progress that\, over time\, prevent\, treat\, or control infectious diseases and life-threatening health conditions\, plus lower birthrates reflecting changes in the lives and choices of women and families. Ageing societies\, in which more people are over age 65 than under age15\, include wealthy\, technologically advanced nations in East Asia\, Asia-Pacific\, North America\, and Western Europe. A 2023 report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) describes population ageing as the top demographic trend globally\, as lifespans increase and birthrates decline in all regions of the world. This trend is often framed as a problem: Who will care for all of us as we age? These facts and trends point to an urgent need for researchers and practitioners in ageing societies in different regions to think together about shared challenges. This seminar draw on recent work by The Hastings Center to reflect on how perceptions of difference\, such as stark contrasts between “East” and“West\,” can impede recognition of similar values\, approaches\, and problems as well as meaningful differences. Seminar participants will explore a range of challenges common to ageing societies and consider ways to think together in research and practice.  \n\n\n\nRooms 204 & 206\, Choh-Ming Li Basic Medical Sciences Building\, CUHK (and hybrid on ZOOM\, see register link below.)
