New Zealand Positive Ageing – Today and Tomorrow
Our Positive Ageing vision is:
"...a society where people can age positively, where older people are highly valued and where they are recognised as an integral part of families and communities."
Positive ageing is feeling good about ourselves as we age. It affects how we interact with our families and communities and influences how society views ageing.
Positive ageing includes:
- health
- financial security
- independence
- self-fulfilment
- personal safety
- security
- physical environments.
Positive ageing is not only about the experience of older people, but also about the attitudes and expectations younger generations have about older people and their own ageing.
The New Zealand Positive Ageing - Today and Tomorrow will be regularly updated as new information becomes available.
