SOCIAL POLICY TOWARDS OLDER ADULTS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Abstract

The ageing population presents significant global challenges, amplified by globalization's complex socio-economic dynamics. This study examines the influence of globalization on social policies for older adults through comparative analysis, highlighting diverse approaches across developed and developing nations. The findings reveal both opportunities and disparities, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive, technologically inclusive, and equitable policies to address ageing-related challenges. The study provides evidence-based recommendations for policymakers to balance global trends with local needs, fostering sustainable and inclusive solutions for enhancing older adults' well-being.
