Transforming pensions and health care in a rapidly ageing world: Opportunities and collaborative strategies

Abstract

This article addresses the question of improving the financial sustainability of and access to pensions and health care in ageing societies. It focuses on the opportunities presented by ageing societies and identifies 11 strategic options (actions and programs) that offer the most promise for multi-stakeholder collaboration, often combining pensions and health-care solutions. The publication on which this article is based contains a longer list of more than 50 strategic options (actions and programs) that stakeholders can consider when developing policies and programs to improve the financial sustainability of and access to pensions and health care in ageing societies. © 2010 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.
