00:00:01.470 --> 00:00:04.200
<v ->Hi everyone, and welcome to module 12.</v>

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.550
This week we'll be going to be learning

3
00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:07.470
about global demographics and the management

4
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:09.960
of long-term services and supports.

5
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.420
We'll be discussing forward-looking management practices

6
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:13.590
in the future of global health

7
00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:16.650
in terms of the aging population in many countries.

8
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.050
This chapter will focus on elderly care,

9
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:20.250
and the importance of planning

10
00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:23.040
for generational changes in different contexts.

11
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.720
Of course, it's important to note

12
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.480
that not every country has an aging population,

13
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.310
and in some, the youth population is growing

14
00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:30.573
at a very fast rate.

15
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.380
This week, you'll have some readings and videos to watch.

16
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:35.880
In addition to my lecture, you should watch

17
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.650
the Institute for Development Studies lecture

18
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:40.620
about planning for future Google Health priorities.

19
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:43.140
While this video was produced in February, 2023,

20
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.190
I think the future trends

21
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:46.080
that identify are still largely relevant

22
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.240
and important to think about.

23
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.740
We also have some interesting readings

24
00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:51.030
about innovative approaches

25
00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:52.920
to aging populations and long-term care,

26
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.970
including the so-called Dementia Village in the Netherlands.

27
00:00:56.970 --> 00:00:59.100
As you're reading about these models, I encourage you

28
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:00.810
to think about the various socioeconomic

29
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:02.280
and cultural forces that might make

30
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.680
a particular model appropriate or inappropriate

31
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:05.883
in a particular setting.

32
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.730
In addition to the didactic materials,

33
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:10.680
you'll write a short reflection about national

34
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.140
and our international health policy development,

35
00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:16.380
and submit the first draft of your final paper.

36
00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:18.930
This is a heavy week for writing, so be sure to start early,

37
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:21.730
and reach out early in case you might need an extension.

38
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:24.540
In addition to the reflection, you'll have a quiz

39
00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:26.040
and a discussion on Yellowdig.

40
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.250
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions

41
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:32.000
or concerns, and I hope that you all have a great week.
