Description

Canada will soon be one of only a handful of countries to enter a new demographic era and become a “super-aged” society. This occurs when more than 1 in 5 citizens are older than 65. As we cross this threshold, innovative approaches to healthcare, social support systems, and technology are required to support public services aimed at an aging demographic.

This forward-looking event features Dr. Zayna Khayat, a health futurist and co-author of the seminal book The Future of Aging, who will share her insights on how public policy-making bodies are adapting to meet the evolving needs of an aging population, whether by developing policies to improve the resilience of our healthcare systems, or by strengthening social support frameworks, or leveraging technology, among others.

Participants will gain practical strategies for integrating futurism approaches into policy design and development to ensure that public services remain responsive, sustainable and inclusive.

Speaker

Dr. Zayna Khayat, Adjunct Faculty, Health Sector Strategy Stream, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto

Moderator

Neil Bouwer, Visiting Professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy
