International Standards for Ageing Societies, Gebunden

Klappentext

International Standards for Ageing Societies brings together leading international experts to demonstrate how international standards can help address one of the world's greatest demographic transformations.

This pioneering edited volume shows how standards can support inclusive, resilient, and sustainable ageing societies. It provides a practical, authoritative roadmap for using standards to improve products, services, workplaces, care systems, and communities by turning evidence, policy, and innovation into action. Taking a global approach, each chapter considers contemporary issues, including
healthy longevity and demographic change; digital technologies, digital economies, and non-digital options; age-inclusive workforces and working carers; dementia inclusive communities, wellbeing promotion, and community liveability; and care quality, smart homes, and digital therapeutics. It also explores how international standards can guide the responsible use of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and future technological innovations. Each chapter shows how different countries and cultures can adapt and apply global standards to strengthen inclusion and accessibility, increase workforce participation, and generate wide-ranging social and economic benefits.

This volume is an essential resource for governments, policy makers, standards bodies, employers, industry, service providers, researchers, and educators. It also supports community organizations, older people, carers, consumers, and students to use and shape standards to promote quality, accessibility, inclusion, and participation.
