- Technology For Good #12: Healthy ageing In a digital worldAgeing is becoming a megatrend. Around the world birth rates are declining, while people are living longer, healthier lives. For the first time in human history, people over the age of 60 outnumber those under the age of five. A population predicted to reach 2 billion by the year 2050.
To help us prepare for this new reality, the World Health Organization and the United Nations have launched the Decade of Healthy Ageing. From 2021 to 2030, this decade will contain milestones related to the Sustainable Development Goals.
In this episode we are focusing on how technology can have a major part to play in ensuring that this population does not go underserved, but that will only happen if both technology creators and policy makers are aware of and act on this dramatic shift in the global demographic.
Featuring plenty of great content including extracts from speakers at major ITU events this year such as WSIS FORUM 2021 and facts and figures from ITU's brand new report: "Ageing in a digital world - from vulnerable to valuable".
This podcast is the twelfth episode of “Technology for Good”- an ITU podcast series that focuses on how technology is helping to shape the world around us.
