Abstract

Japan's shift toward a super-aged society is being fueled by a combination of demographic factors. These include declining marriage and fertility rates and increases in life expectancy enabled by advances in medical science and improved nutrition and living conditions. Another trend is the rise in the number of older single-person or couple households as a result of various lifestyle and demographic changes, including a general decrease in average household size, the rise of smaller nuclear households, and the growing number of people who remain unmarried. The socioeconomic challenges arising from an aging and declining population have been at the forefront of Japan's political and public policy discourse since the rapid population aging trend was first recognized in the 1980s. Central to the aging population challenge is the decline in working-age population, which could lead to labor force shortages and lower economic growth. Recognition of these growing challenges has engendered a shift in aging policy toward aging in place and healthy aging, with older persons encouraged to remain active and in their existing communities for as long as possible. The idea is not only to improve the well-being of older persons and their quality of life, but also to reduce the burden on the state of providing for the burgeoning health and welfare needs of a super-aged population. Japan has implemented several policies, guidelines, and programs to promote healthy aging. Japanese authorities and cities are implementing several projects in housing and homebased care to facilitate aging in place. Some of these projects are reviewed in this report.

Abstract

« C'est pour ton bien ! » cette petite phrase si souvent entendue dans mon enfance m'a toujours révoltée. Professionnelle dans le monde du grand âge, je réalise qu'elle pourrait bien revenir me chahuter. Dans ce récit, je revisite mon histoire de vie et la superpose avec ce qui m'a le plus marquée dans ce monde particulier et étrange des établissements d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes. Le début comme la fin de notre vie semble nous échapper, parents, proches ou professionnels en prennent les commandes persuadés de savoir ce qui est bon pour nous. Toutes les personnes âgées que j'ai côtoyées ne semblent pas en souffrir. Quel est le secret qui me permettra d'accepter la dépendance à l'autre si je deviens vieille ?

Abstract

Trois ans d'investigations, 250 témoins, le courage d'une poignée de lanceurs d'alerte, des dizaines de documents explosifs, plusieurs personnalités impliquées... Voici une plongée inquiétante dans les secrets du groupe Orpéa, leader mondial des Ehpad et des cliniques. Truffé de révélations spectaculaires, ce récit haletant et émouvant met au jour de multiples dérives et révèle un vaste réseau d'influence, bien loin du dévouement des équipes d'aidants et de soignants, majoritairement attachées au soutien des plus fragiles. Personnes âgées maltraitées, salariés malmenés, acrobaties comptables, argent public dilapidé... Nous sommes tous concernés
