- We Engage, We Create, We Share
- One of the paradoxes of aging is that, even though our physical health declines during older age, our subjective well-being does not. This paradox is discussed, including some of the adaptive factors that enable older adults to maintain and even improve their well-being. We also know some of the important factors that can enhance quality of life in old age. Attention is then turned to how policy can help facilitate some of these factors and thus assist in ensuring a better old age.

- Expanding the Intergenerational Contact Zone: The Singapore Experience
- In the recent decade, we are beginning to witness more efforts in Singapore to promote intergenerational (IG) interactions. This presentation seeks to examine the impact of such opportunities on the old and young through a discussion of selected IG programs present in education and care services. From the framework of “intergenerational contact zone” (ICZ), I argue that in expanding the ICZ, there will be a need for toolkits sensitive to local conditions and variations within the old and young. Moreover, the joint commitment to IG connection among cross-generational facilities is equally significant for the sustainability of the efforts.
- Living in Harmony: Value of Grandparents’ Reaction to Generational Gaps in Balinese Family
- All world regions are experiencing an increase in the absolute and relative size of their older populations, and the global age distribution will change from a pyramid to a cylindrical form. The number of people living in multigenerational family households will continue to rise. In Indonesia, responsibility of caring for the elderly people is held by the first son and daughter-in-law of the family. Three or more generations living together is a common practice in Indonesian family, with 35% of the total population of elderly people living with family. Bali is one of the top five provinces with the highest proportion of elderly people. With generations living together, there is a changing pattern of the intergenerational family relations, and generations may conflict in values, habits, and communication styles. This qualitative research study, conducted in Bali, investigated how elderly people react to the generational gaps in the extended family context. Through grounded theory analysis of data from 15 participants age 60 and older in urban areas of Bali, the study found that grandparents have a “living-in-harmony” value in reaction to the generational gaps in the family. This value consists of optimism of the future, the perception of ideal interaction, positive reaction to generational gaps, and positive conflict-resolution style.
- Age-Friendly Honolulu: Building Connections Across Generations
- Honolulu is taking steps to build an age-friendly community and support active aging. Such initiatives are crucial, given that the state of Hawai’i is aging more rapidly than the rest of the US and leads the nation in healthy life expectancy. The Age-Friendly Honolulu Initiative, which began in 2014 and is supported by Honolulu’s Mayor, promotes youth engagement in aging issues and community building. Younger generations need to understand their changing roles and responsibilities in an aging society and create a better future for themselves. This presentation will describe intergenerational programs created in Honolulu to improve awareness of aging and dementia issues, build empathy, and improve understanding of community issues.
- Intergenerations in a Changing World
- The rapid population aging underscores the importance of creating opportunities for older adults to continue to flourish and to lead a quality life in society. By drawing on a lifetime of experience, older adults can help young generations to develop the skills and self-confidence necessary to navigate difficult life obstacles. Intergenerational programs can help young people to develop positive attitudes and experiences regarding interacting with, living with, and caring for older adults. The presentation will discuss some ways of realizing the potential in finding innovative means in enhancing and evaluating the positive effects of intergenerational programs.

- A view from the ground – Using a Social Impact Bond to change lifes
- Ten years ago Social Finance UK set out to change the way we respond to social challenges. We developed a unique approach combining data, investment, partnerships and original thinking. There are now approaching 100 programmes in 20 countries, with more than £300m invested. Janette will explore how this innovative type of funding is used on the ground via a Social Impact Bond to tackle loneliness in the older generation. The Reconnections Service is delivered by a group of social sector partners working together to connect clients to people, places or activities in their community. Janette will share how they measure the impact of their progress and how they have overcome operational challenges in the first 2 years of the pilot.

- “Golden Age” generation supports our society in different functions, and their bones continuously support their activities. However, bone loses with aging; and it limits our Golden Age generation to contribute. Individual bone loss is a mutual loss to our society. We should definitely retain our bone health and thus the ability to continuously support our society.
- Representing the Golden Age generation, famous actress Ms. Helena Law will be discussing with Dr. Dicky Choy Tak Kee the Representative of Hong Kong Osteoporosis Foundation about the importance of proactively fighting osteoporosis in this stage session.

- To Age at Choice among Housing Options
- When people grow old, most of them would like to live at a familiar environment they prefer. Aging in place (AIP) is not only a guiding policy of the Hong Kong Government, but also a common aspiration of older people. As the only housing provider of elderly housing in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Housing Society has provided various kind of housing options for older people to help them age in place. Public education to raise the awareness of AIP is also provided by its Elderly Resources Centre. Mr Cheung will elaborate on the current choices of elderly housing for AIP and share his view on the outlook in the medium term.
- Inter-generational Co-residence Aspiration and Reality in Compact Hong Kong: What are the constraints?
- It is generally known that inter-generational co-residence is affected by cultural, demographic, social and economic factors. Less explored are the factors of housing and living conditions. Even less known are how the socio-economic and built environment factors interact to influence the aspiration and the reality of inter-generational co-residence of the elderly people and their adult children. Based on a questionnaire survey of 5000 samples sourced from all districts in Hong Kong, focus group discussions, site visits to housing estates, and statistical analyses, this presentation explores the determinants of co-residence in Hong Kong, a city characterized by high-density, high-rise, high-housing price but low-housing-space standards. It will particularly examine how housing circumstances and subsidized housing policy influence and restrain the co-residence aspiration and decision of the elderly and their children of different socio-economic and demographic features. In interpreting the statistical analysis results, trends of housing culture, impact of housing policy, and neighbourhood conditions will be considered to provide a fuller understanding of the constraints of co-residence in compact Hong Kong.
