the proportion of people age is 60 years and over in the world will double from 11 to 22 percent 40 years 2050. so many countries have mrs. 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, compared to the other parts of society or demanding resources on sky. now he's on this up. so up 360 view, we're going to look at the various a global elderly care system to probably an 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, 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 you'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 our 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 and nursing house. we are joined now by josephine karate, a broadcast journalist and media trader based in kenya. welcome and thank you for joining us. you know, just mean the world health organization has had 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. now one of the main reasons is medical advances, increasing life expectancy. so what are the main differences you see between elder care and western versus other societies? thank you so much for that question. maybe i need to start on a buck drop of the can known situation according to the can population 2019

report that was done in august 2019 the can and population at the current moment stands out for the $7000000.00 canyons and the elderly of $65.00 eggs and above about 6 percent of the total population, which is basically translate to about $1800000.00 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. but 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 traditions. they old people all the people living in the neighborhoods in their communities 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 kenyan 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. and i was setups as our community as the african african living, the extended family community care. we do not have that structure. we're having nursing homes for the old already been for people to be taken care of people, tech and cattle from their home, from their children home, from their households. connecting me by god's children, or by ben sons and daughters and ad, the house pamphlet hand has gotten by the funding. so my idea, or having all the people being put into homes as a really know to come into there for you will still live with the old parents. and if you are not able to live with them, because maybe of moved out to look for green up or maybe you out, but you are past or something. these are weighed, they some kind of continued to where you get

a handheld to help these old people they know at the place to take them as it was. how accommodating is the government when it comes to this? do they give special motives special incentives, special understandings? to families, if they are taking care of their page, if their kid taking care of their patriarch or their matriarch, when it is expensive. yes. and government does support the old people. it is that it is provided for in 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 $20.00. $20.00. you know? no, not $20.00 like $200.00. my household of an elderly bathroom and what

happens is that their households are mopped through their chiefs. it is known that being 2 or 3 elder people in these household, so that documented and they are actually stand also a suspension given to one another. children all funds back to i'm not when, but you done by the government. the money is very me got it may not be enough, but the expectations that families should also cheap enough help about 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? another thing that happens in african society not only to carry it,

but most homes, but to kill, not teens, the societies but the men have the same, the society. and sometimes you find that the household or these home have polygamy in them. you may find an old man has 2 or 3 wives, but basically they their home keep by the one the head of the home. 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 a man that in the household that women will, may remain windows and may not the 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 the most men with mighty, because they say, you know,

they are feeling is that a man cannot leave alone. they have to get a woman with them. so then it so happens that most households appeal, they are the men call the shots. so women, more like are 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've been children. most times more than even 5 as a man. 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 tab sydney. it happened nothing much as the culture traditions deeply embedded in societies. the way people have been socialized away, socialization has taken place. really nothing much has changed. the school has not been chicken so much. so this is how it i've been and this is how i'm seeing it's going. i don't know whether very soon or later change. but that to how does being forwarded back to being handed down from generation to generation with very little variations may be depending on the setup in different households. very, very interesting, jeffrey, thank you so much for chatting with us. please stay with us because we're going to be right back and to continue this conversation about global elder care with our guest stage in the news

. ah, the kind of liberal agenda we see the west now. yes, not really. we based, but it's a kind of ways i religious creed and they are trying to crowd out all sorts of real estate, practical objections to that vision of creating a kind of city on the hill on the news. ah, well, emily and not afford to go. we use and i made a gift salem, but ideally chaslek knowledge was focal, more of neat and clean. so key ikea. i'm of

a crow this of course with the information that you all know when i was children, medi medicare for this, or you can throw this up here. but i think a call when you want to get a proposal model. now the key for table transit, watson's nvg with their voice, i big much that is in the book. you know, please send me that when i tell me more help with terrible fire panel for gold and i, yes, i'm a do not i cited so genia, i don't home on that ability class the currency to deal with. cuz of the game, be wild immanuel good for the dickies outlook. i was a waitress for by fabric in your cheerios. i was on monday,

i saw xanda capital children i spoke with elizabeth shantell, very few. assuming in the modem, which really seemed i go to the new menu, scarlet, and if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about. remember that because your prospect doesn't budget whom and symbols on display space reach guy. so you guys don't talk to strangers. 7 boy noisy gatherings and rallies. when you get them in them are actually eaten your colleagues and perhaps also your friends

think you're guilty because your russian much and i was and i was so glad the way the team is being picked up by me. i wasn't sure the body of specific social concerning me ok, welcome back. were joined once again by broadcast and was adjusting ronnie out of kenya. now she is joined us talking about elder care throughout the world. thank you so much for joining us. josephine. thank you. you know, 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. talking about elder care globally and muscle locally at home as african culture, we embedded in extended family through culture and socialization over the years. so really not much has changed. so in my view, we have continued handing over generations on how we handle all the people. how we take care of them, how we live, we live within the community. and really we don't find it easy to let them go into nursing homes or 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 them,

then these are weighed, but the family comes together and looks for how hand him to help these old people. but they're not relinquished out to bear to our common children. i mean, are common massey more, more home for them then there is no provision for that in our local setups. and really, i don't know. maybe that will change with time. and maybe there's some few, many more elderly homes. but most times people live with their old people within the community. do you have very much transitioning happening with in a kenyan families as young people finish school and they go up 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 are still tied to the community a scenario east, the base of family home. these are father, probably these are my them, 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 the 3 of them depending if a man has one of them. 2 wines. but they young people and they are children. we've still feel that they need to take care of them. they are still feeling depth and because society expects you to do that culture expects 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 soft class, some of them will be desolate on, may be run into problems that they're both issues but to the community and administration normally deals with their issues like that maybe these i guess 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 the report about these on the shoe in sutton home on may be that ne basil to come on to help on 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 to support it. are there other government structures, other maybe 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, 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 system, the elder and maybe i should just talk about banks and the government provisions fast days, the social protection funds which the government and makes use to give their own people. one document that there would be no co lead, as the chiefs would document any old people, one over $65.00. yeah. and i do need help. and most times they will deal with the

cases of when they do an or detail bought home. 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 they, the cases that are pathetic, then they would list those old people for them to get some support. actually, you get about 2000 shillings a month, which is about $20.00 for assistance for the old people. that is our government filed and that has been passed by the by parliament. and it's normally distributed by the chiefs and their local administration. both the power records of the old people. in other instances, they all the 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 years based 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 fund where you can register, anybody who needs help are for hospital funding. and you get deducted about $5.00 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 oh, i state office size and even individuals, these are friend which you wanted beauty to, ah, called national social security fund. and once you are out over employment, then you out this money sent to you so that you are able to use it because it's

like it was, you are savings for the 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 base is a private insurance. you can have private insurance or from the different organizations or the different insurance companies. if you are not buy sonya children can get you. ready insurance for you so that when you are sick, you able to be attendance. and so there are many dimensions through the government . i'm through a private sector that tries 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 the 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 an 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 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 are 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 those countries around the world who try everything they can to invest in the 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 societies future success that has been your 360 view. thank you. thanks for watching the o. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to

disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great with we will bring to the iraqi people, food, and medicine, and supplies. and freedom with and cheap energy coming from last year. russian gas chip and she bows, affordable and ship. you are in the stable, which has been both, not the case. did you say will that this no longer there

before they went ahead? see now you go. good. it's a so form that i can put on your should it good. okay. nickel super. the water bottleneck there, muslim most ship was, but we're both on you dealing me when you're both used to learn from wounded and you can keep prominence cos questions like we've been on what else to who's your cooling? why do you decide on santa chance, your sanction country a section of the person because you want to change the behavior of the government. because bruce, them why that hasn't happened? that sanctions hasn't function with

just a little on the, on the wall? no sequential. a new with your promotional questions that have to do it. i don't think that there's a scheduled. sure. so, but i'm not sure if it is your spiritual shock. little bit when you bring it with

ah ah, processed is enjoyed your attention to the countries parliament classes with people raleigh, i guess a draft know that would run some media outlets. foreign agent with american non german reports claims that they pro ukrainian group was behind the bombing of the north stream pipeline. russia cause it's an attempt to shift the blame from the alleged western role were billed by the more.
