Part 2: Building Age Friendly Communities: Ideas About How We Can Prepare To Live More Healthily And Happily In Our Aging World, How We Can Think Critically About It, Plan For It And Take Action

So humans, let’s face it. We are living in an aging world. For the first time in history, and probably for the rest of human history, people aged 65 and over will outnumber children under the age of 5. By 2030, that total is projected to increase to 1 billion. That means 1 in every 8 of the earth’s inhabitants will be an older adult.

Lots to think about. So, today with Jason’s help, we are going to talk about how we can prepare to live more healthily and happily in our aging world, how we can think critically about it, plan for it and take action.
