3:36 pm
a worthy challenge and are creating various ways to properly care for their aging population. while others continue to not see this as a priority will compared to the other parts of society for demanding resources. i'm going to use it on this up. so up 360 view, we're going to look at the various a global elderly care system to put in existence and why some of the higher income countries are refusing to accurately address the problem. let's get started. ah. well, quality of life is improving and medical care continuing to advance is a goal worth achieving. the growing number of an aging population is creating a new challenges on society. now countries have various ways of handling the care of their elderly. and while some are rising to the challenge,
3:37 pm
others are letting down their aging population. and surprisingly, it is some of the most advanced 1st world countries who seem to be facing a crisis in their elderly care system. and depending on who they're talking to as to whether the fault is on the government or society itself. now norway, sweden, in switzerland, or city high standard with 100 percent pension coverage, as well as accommodation by public transport, and great in home care incentives for families. meanwhile, countries like the united states, find themselves pushing elderly into residences with care insurance, being mainly privatized by large companies. now, canada, who has over the last decades and more funds and to drugs and hospitals, has now promised to spend $6000000000.00 over the next decade to address their aging population money they planned to raise from taxes. but ultimately, the question for country to decide is whether the best interest for their aging population is for care to be provided from within the family or by residential care
3:38 pm
and nursing house. we are joined now by joseph in karate, a broadcast journalist and media trader based in kenya. welcome and thank you for joining us. you know, just been the world health organization has said the number of seniors age 65 and above could reach 1500000000 in the year 2050. in that year, the number of elderly will go more significant than the population of children. one of the main reasons is medical advances, increasing life expectancy. so what are the main differences? do you see between elder care and western versus other societies? thank you so much for that question. maybe i need to start on a backdrop of the can known situation. according to the can population 2019 report that was done in august 2019 the can and population of the current moment stands about 47000000 kingdoms and the elderly of 65 eggs
3:39 pm
and above about 6 percent of that total population. which is basically translate to about 1800000 of elderly people. there are more women than men in this category because across the board, there are more women than men in society. best coming. and then of course, the other thing is, but the life expectancy of men in kenya is no other than that of women by about 5 years apart. so yes, the elder care in kenya is not like in the west where families tech, they are old people, to homes, mastering homes, basically because of our culture and our traditions. they old people or the people living in their neighborhoods, in their communities,
3:40 pm
taken care of by their grandchildren, by son and daughter. so i don't see about changing very much soon. so that is where we are at the moment. we will be living with our old people in the community. every young people move out and go out to move for walk. they will just have to get them a hand to help or patch them up with the other family members who are living within the community. i'm wondering about how it seems like in canyon families are kept. close elders are kept in the family home and close to family rather than putting into nursing homes. are there nursing homes in kenya? first off, and what would make a family choose to put their, their elder in a nursing home rather than keep them in the house. okay, maybe what we need to know is, but they are not really provisions for those nursing homes in our setups as our community, as the african africans living the extended family community care. we do not
3:41 pm
have that structure. we're having nursing homes for they all don't even for people to be taken care of. people check and cattle from their home, from their children home, from their households. connecting me by god's children or by bad sons and daughters and ad, the house has gotten by the funding. so the idea of having old people being put into homes as a really know to come into there for you will still leave with you are all parents . and if you are not able to live with them, because maybe i've moved out to look for green up, or maybe you out, but you are past or, or something. these are weighed, they some kind of continued to where you get the handheld to help these old people pays no other players to take them as it was. how accommodating is the government when it comes to this?
3:42 pm
do they give us special motives, special incentives, special understandings? to families, if they are taking care of their page, if they're taking care of their patriarch or their matriarch, it is expensive. yes. and government does support the old people. it is that it is provided for government, social protection spaces. they get some little amount of money to for their upkeep. something like 2000 can and shillings that is like when she that is like 20 dollars, 20 dollars. you know? no, not $20.00 like $200.00 per household or an elderly bathroom. and what happens is that they, they households out of mopped through the chiefs. it is known, but they are 2 or 3 elder people in the household. so that documented that
3:43 pm
actually stand also a suspension given to vulnerable children all funds back to i'm not sure when, but you done by the government though the money is very me got it may not be enough, but the expectations that fun really should also cheap enough help all the older people in the household, you know, i understand the elder is always the patriarch or the matriarch of the household. and what that says goes, does that still go when the parents are living with their adult children? do they still have that position of hierarchy over their children who are also adults themselves? i love a thing that happens in african society not only to care, but most homes. but rockhill, not to the society by trail, kill the men, how they say the society. and sometimes you find that the households or these
3:44 pm
homes have polygamy in them. you may find an old man house 2 or 3 wives, but basically is they their home keep by the one the head of the whole. so it's like men have a higher hand or an advantage over how their lives. i lived with the community more than that, women, and another thing is that should mom die in the household that women may remain windows and may not be mighty because basically most windows down to the mighty but men do marry. should you be having one wife on your wife buses or even at the very, at once a most men will marry because they the society or they are feeling is that that man cannot leave alone. they have to get a woman with them. so then it so happens that most households appeal,
3:45 pm
they are the men call the shots. so women, more like subdued. but interestingly it's women who keep their homes going. that the backbone, they're the ones who walk. they're the ones who bought that we the children most time more than even 5 as all the men. you know, i'm really curious talking with you on this because is this how it's always been? or have you seen culture and society change in any way from your grandparents generation to what you're seeing currently in the present? i mean, are you seeing society and pop culture affecting this sort of relationship? yes, i think growing up, i think that's how soon it happened. nothing much as the culture traditions are deeply embedded in societies. the way people have been socialized away,
3:46 pm
socialization has taken place. really nothing much has changed on the state as cool as not been chicken so much. so this is how it does been, and this is how i'm seeing it going, i don't know whether a very soon or later to change. but that to how it does being fall. but the back to being handed down from generation to generation with very little variations made me depending on the set up in different households. very, very interesting josephine, thank you so much for chatting. whether it's please stay with us because we're going to be right back. i want to continue this conversation about global elder care with our guest stating, ah huh. ah. with
3:47 pm
today i'm authorized to additional strong sanction foreign companies acquitting russia design soon. thank you. this client atm card. so blanton bangs, disconnected from the international payments system is functional move hoppey, joe, mo donna and euro exchange rates followed up on a table up or nickel, the more so. so carbon would know what the committee met. that evoke missed the pillar from this then is the current. can you see what i don't see a material. we covered almost volume and russian business overcome this song. see me and i bought it to the nazi to handle huge, tremendously just me don't pros voice, bullshit. national productive notches steel, a miracle, what i see that work with themselves. when you come when you with, before you go, then you will look in your mind for the student, but i see. so praise id. look, i know, of course the group when you, when you, when we talk, i'm just listening who is a school some diluted little book the most with
3:48 pm
hello. welcome back. we're joined at once again by broadcasting was just, i think ronnie, out of kenya. now she is at joined us talking about elder care throughout the world . thank you so much for joining us. josephine. thank you. and the previous segment we talked about society and culture causing potential changes within the structure of the family. do you think this is also changing with employment opportunities that might be coming up within society? thank you so much for that question. yes, i'm talking about elder care law globally. i'm more so looking at home as african culture we embedded in extended family through culture. i'm socialization over the yes. so really,
3:49 pm
i'm not my task chinks. so in my view, we have continued handing over generations on how we handle our older people, how we take care of them, how we live, we then within the community, and really we don't find it easy to let them go into nursing homes, all even out of our site, we live with them within our setups. and if it so happens that these nobody left or take care of then. then these are weighed, but the family comes together and looks like how hand him to how to these old people. but they're not relinquished out to back to our common children. i mean, our common massey, warm water, harmful their them based know proration for that in our local setups. and really, i don't know,
3:50 pm
maybe that will change with time and maybe there some few, many more elderly homes but and most times people live with their old people within the community. do you have very much transitioning happening with and it kenyon, families as young people finish school and they go off to get jobs? do they usually move away from the home, maybe to more urban areas and in those situations, do they come back home when it's time to care for their parents? most times what happens, these young people, we leave the home to go out and look for jobs in the cities in downtown south, in the neighborhoods. but the fact that to that happens is they're still tied to the community a scenario. each of these a family home base a father probably these are mother and their children. once they grow, they will move to their households. and these parents will be left within their home the 2 of them or 3 of them depending if
3:51 pm
a man has more than 2 weiss but the young people and they are children with state of feel, but they need to take care of them. they're still feeling depth and because society expects you to do that couch, i expect you to do that. traditional expects you to do that. you cannot abandon your old people because that is how you have been socialized. that's how you live. don't bone to in africa, is here to stay and you have to really tech, kill the old people and provide for them where you come. what happens when the parents start to have issues of dementia or other health issues? mental illness. how is that handled? are they able to stay in the home? oh them i think when that happens like any, any conflict, basic problem because then in some instances some of my old people with the south class, some of them will be desolate on, may be run into problems that,
3:52 pm
that those issues but to the community and administration normally deals with their issues like that. maybe these are kids like laps, but she wouldn't be involved on maybe they would come and mitigate within our household or in that home where these that problem. but ne basil to report that these on the shoe in sutton home on may be that ne basil to come and help. i'm to the community. would it be bad that your brother, skipper? they watch out for each other. it's interesting. you talked about how there is money that is provided for, for keeping the elderly in your home that's helped or support it. are there other government structures, other may be even n g o says step in for support. you know, we're finding here in the united states. cities increasingly are producing laws such as the pay parent act where people are paid. if they have to take off work,
3:53 pm
an employee can take up to 3 months off of work and be paid while they have to care for an elder. is there any serve that equivalent in kenya? ok, there are many ways, but the government on the community comes into our seats, the elder and maybe i should just talk about it. and then government provisions, fast days, the social protection funds which the government and makes use to give the old people one document that would been knock or lead. as the chiefs would document any old people one over 65 years and who need to help. and most times they will deal with the cases of when they do an auditor by whom they see whether that home has a children or, or other members of the family. lou able to take care of those old people if they find that's been the case, is that pathetic that they would the least those old people for them to get some support? actually you get about 2000 shillings a month,
3:54 pm
which is about $20.00 for assistance for the old people. that is our government filed that has been passed by the by parliament. and it's normally distributed by the chiefs and their local administration. both that have records of the old people . in other instances, they old people, those who are retired, remember that everybody gets older, you may have been a public sovereignty in your duties. and when you retired, 60 as base pension for you to for you to carry on with your life. and so you are able to be paid and continue having a leg, you know, then that interventions medical probably we have the national hospital insurance fun where you can register. anybody who needs help are for hospital funding. and you get deducted about $105.00
3:55 pm
a month every month for you to be able to access any services in the hospital once you are sick and you are hospitalized. that is another way the government has come in. and then for other issues like people who are public, savannah, so our state of the size and even in billy yours, these are friend which you wanted beauty to, ah, called maximo social security fund. and once you are out over employment, then you have this money sent to you so that you are able to use it because it's like you towards your savings for that period when you walk in as a public sub. and so those are some of the dimensions, but the government does that. but all schools on behind the bays of private insurance, you can have private insurance or who from the different organizations or the different insurance companies. if you are unknown question you are,
3:56 pm
children can get to insurance for you so that when you are seek, you able to be attendance from. so there are many dimensions through the government . i'm through a private sector, but try to out and continue to old people's lives. that's amazing, that's really, really good and josephine, i want to thank you so much for joining us from kenya. you're broadcast journalist, me a trainer and obviously very knowledgeable, and how the elders are treated with the new york country. and i really thank you for sharing your expertise. thank you so much for the opportunity. this is an issue very dear to my heart. as my own family is struggling with how best to care for our elders is a picture of my family. and while there are multiple challenges every day, there's always been given that my mother and father would share in our home when the time came. as only child, this is something sometimes not been easy, but i know i'm doing the right thing out of respect and love for everything. my
3:57 pm
parents have given to me. it was the same thing that my mother did for her parents, as well as her aunt who was able to have children. she modeled to me that this was how our family handled the care of our eldest generation. there is some extremely rewarding about having those who have already experienced so much life share insights with the next generation. i'm greatly saddened by how my own government has not made it a priority to incentivize families to give as much care as possible in their own home. rather for those families who might not have the economic resources, they are almost forced to put their loved ones in a group home. sometimes these group homes are understaffed, and the resources provided to both the caregivers and the patients are extremely limited. i do believe this is a result of america being such a new country as evidenced by those families from other cultures who come to america, still preserved their tradition of carrying in house for their elders. bravo to all of those countries around the world who try everything they can't to invest in the
3:58 pm
family from the oldest to the youngest, as each plays a very important role. and i do believe it isn't the best investment for society, future success that has been your 360 view. i know he, thanks for watching. ah, i sent him and i'm here to plead with you, whatever you do, you do not watch, minute show. why watch something that so different opinions that you won't get anywhere else working with please. as you have the state department c, i a weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations, to your fax for you, go ahead change and whatever you do. don't watch my show, stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is
3:59 pm
called direct impact, but i guess we don't want to watch it because it might just change. and the way you think the who is the aggressor today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions. today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing a list. of course, it's becoming the most you mind the we're, we're, we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g. a g with regard to joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang, ah ah,
4:00 pm
[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, breaking news from georgia web protest is are attempting to storm the countries paula been said to classes with police as people rally against a draft and all that would run some media outlets foreign agents. us on german media outlets publish articles claiming that a pro ukrainian group was behind the bombing of benoit stream pipeline. but marcia cools it and attempts to shift the blame from the alleged western roll whitfield by
