(2023)
Met het ouder worden, worden de gezondheids- en sociale behoeften van oudere volwassenen complexer. Multimorbiditeit, het naast elkaar bestaan van twee of meer chronische ziekten, komt voor bij meer dan de helft van de volwassenen ouder dan 65 jaar. Tegelijkertijd is er minder beschikbaarheid van mantelzorgers door een smallere basis in de bevolkingspiramide, het toenemend aantal vrouwen dat is gaan werken en de grotere geografische afstand tussen ouder(s) en kind(eren). De vraag naar gezondheidsdiensten en andere vormen van ondersteuning (poetshulp, warme maaltijden, …) neemt daarom toe.

Bij complexe uitdagingen is interdisciplinaire synthese uiteindelijk belangrijker en relevanter dan vaktechnische expertise. Mondiale problemen vragen een internationale synthese.
