How can governments, health providers and communities respond to the COVID19 pandemic? What strategies can be adopted to protect the lives of older people?
This webinar organised as part of the EuroAgeism project, will examine the impact of COVID-19 for delivering and financing long-term services and supports; high-risk older adults in communities; families and caregivers of older adults; local government and community responses; economic risks for older workers and retirees; and, documenting and combating ageism. It proposes policies and strategies for protecting and improving the lives of older people during the pandemic. It draws lessons for aging policy and practice more generally, given underlying challenges brought to the fore by government, provider, community, and individual responses to the pandemic.
