Briefing To The Incoming Minister For Senior Citizens 2005
Was produced by this Office to brief the incoming Minister for Senior Citizens following the 2005 general election. In this briefing, we provide an overview of how the older population is changing. We highlight the challenges government faces in enabling older people to stay connected and to participate in their communities. We also outline the responses to these challenges, and the opportunities that the rapidly changing demographic of the older population will bring for New Zealand over the next three years.
