GDI Trend Talk on the Aging Society
The demographic trends are clear: our society is getting older and older. The result is an increasing need for care and nursing, and ultimately also for new technologies.
The demands of society are changing. The retirees of the digital society want more self-determination, more individualization and more comfort.
This raises questions about the future of nursing and care in Switzerland:
Who will provide for us in old age - the state or private individuals?
What new needs are emerging, and how can they be met?
Which providers and business models will shape the market in the future?
These questions are answered by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute in the study "Fluid Care: Demand Market versus Welfare Structure" commissioned by Senesuisse. The study will be published at the "Fluid Care" trend meeting.
Thursday, March 17, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at GDI.
At the meeting, GDI researchers will discuss with high-level experts, including:
Pascal Strupler, Director Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH)
Prof. Dr. Reimer Gronemeyer, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany
Clovis Défago, President Senesuisse
