This report by the Asian Development Bank explores four linked dimensions of well-being: health, productive work, economic security, and social engagement. It finds that developing Asia is ageing rapidly, and highlights that the well-being of current and future cohorts of older people in the region is at risk from multiple threats. The report emphasises the need for lifelong investment in human capital, a life-cycle approach that provides adequate interventions in accordance with age-specific needs and population-wide outreach targeting people of all ages. It concludes by offering concrete recommendations in the policy domains of health, employment and retirement, pensions, long-term care, and community level support.
