The report examines the demographic shift in Asia, where an increasing number of the population is aged 65 or older, particularly in advanced economies like Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. This aging trend presents both challenges and opportunities in healthcare, lifestyle management, work environments, adult education, and elderly rights. The report highlights the potential for growth in health and wellness industries, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare services due to the rising demand for elderly care. It also suggests that businesses will need to adapt to cater to an aging workforce, including part-time work, retraining, and technological support. Additionally, the report discusses how labor-intensive jobs may move to countries with younger populations as the workforce in aging societies shrinks. For countries like Canada, this demographic shift in Asia opens up opportunities to export products, services, and expertise in healthcare and social security systems.
