Lão hóa và Chăm sóc Người Cao Tuổi ở Khu Vực Ả Rập: Thách Thức và Cơ Hội Chính Sách
Tóm tắt
Dân số dự kiến sẽ già hóa nhanh chóng tại các quốc gia Ả Rập trong vài thập kỷ tới. Tuy nhiên, hiện tại, cơ sở bằng chứng chỉ ra rằng nhiều quốc gia trong khu vực không chú ý đến hiện tượng nhân khẩu này. Đây là một mối quan tâm đặc biệt vì tuổi thọ thường đi kèm với nhiều năm sức khỏe kém và khuyết tật, và hầu hết các nước trong khu vực vẫn tiếp tục dựa vào gia đình như nguồn chăm sóc người cao tuổi chính. Mặc dù gia đình, đặc biệt là phụ nữ, được kỳ vọng sẽ cung cấp sự hỗ trợ ngày càng tăng trong thời gian dài hơn, nhưng họ đang phải đối mặt với một loạt thay đổi xã hội - nhân khẩu học có thể cản trở khả năng cung cấp sự chăm sóc đó. Bài viết này tập trung vào nhân khẩu học lão hóa ở khu vực Ả Rập và phản ánh về những vai trò đa dạng của phụ nữ thông qua việc sử dụng phân tích định lượng về các chỉ số dân số và kinh tế - xã hội quốc tế cũng như xem xét văn liệu nền tảng và các chính sách lão hóa hiện tại trong khu vực. Bài viết sau đó thảo luận về những chiến lược có thể giải quyết nhu cầu chăm sóc dài hạn ngày càng tăng qua một góc nhìn vốn xã hội, trong đó nhấn mạnh sự hỗ trợ dành cho những người chăm sóc không chính thức, đặc biệt là phụ nữ.
