The silver age

Traditionally, a Japanese household contained an extended family, several generations under one roof. Now, cultural sensibilities and sweeping demographic changes have meant that young and old choose to live apart. This program examines how these factors have affected care of the elderly in a country with the longest-lived population in the world. Seniors discuss the challenge of living alone in a transformed society. Creative new arrangements are seen in a visit to an experimental home that allows friends or family to live for a time with their elderly relatives. A United Nations Production.

  • "Part 13 of a series on how the globalized world economy affects ordinary people. Advances in healthcare mean that more people are living longer with over 560 million age 60 and over in the world today. In parts of Europe, North America, and Japan, the proportion of older people is rising faster than any other group. The result, often, is a growing population of old people with too few young people to take care of them. This program explores the implications in three different countries: India, Japan and Tunisia."@en

  • ""Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, and less than a third of its population have access to any health care. Malnutrition remains the main couse of maternal and infant mortality and well over half of all pregnant women suffer from iron deficiency anaemia. It's so common there's a name for it in all the local languages - they call it "lack of blood". This week's Life programme follows two traditional birth attendants as they try to persuade women to take iron folate supplements and visit hospitals, which is often prohibitively expensive. The rains are late and the crops aren't growing - the women are worried about buying food for the family. It's malaria that is blamed for the increase in anaemia in Tanzania, where, in some areas, 93 percent of children under five suffer form the condition. Unicef believe the way forward are multimicronutrient pills which contain iron folate and other vitamins. But is this a sustainable solution for Tanzania? What happens when donors pull out of distribution programmes? And who is missing out on supplementation programmes? Young adolescent girlds - the mothers of the future. Life asks why." -- Container."@en
  • ""Mrs. Bani Gupta is a wodow who lives alone in Calcutta. Like so many Indian women, she'd devoted her entire life to looking after her family. So when her husband died and her children left home, she felt she'd lost her reason for living. It was only when she joined the West Bengal women's association and realised how many other women were in the same predicament that she discovered a new purpose to her life. Bani Gupta's story is typical of millions of elderly women worldwide. Advances in science and healthcare mean that more people are living longer. Advances in science and helalthcare mean that more people are living longer - with over 560 million people aged 60 and over in the world today. In parts of Europe, north America and Japan, the proportion of older people in the population is rising faster than any other group. The result, often, is a growing population of old people with too few young people to take care of them. This week's Life programme explores the implications in three very different countries: Japan, India and Tunisia" -- Container."@en
