Providing high-quality, affordable long-term care for older people is a cross-cutting policy issue and challenge for many nations. Long-term care as a current priority issue deserves careful consideration by countries currently facing pressure due to the longevity bonus of population aging. How governments respond to this growing demand for long-term care will prove to be a key challenge and determine whether people can age with independence, dignity and quality of life.
Towards the advancement of delivering quality long-term services to an increasing aging population, the European Commission and the AARP Global Aging Program will host a joint conference that will serve to inform policy approaches.
The international conference will gather high level representatives and senior officials from the European Union and United States delegates to highlight common challenges and opportunities with the aim of developing a platform for exchange and dialogue, policy analysis and the formulation of policy recommendations.
