SILVER OPPORTUNITY CASE STUDIES

Experiences with Building Integrated Services for Older Adults around Primary Health Care

By Xiaohui Hou, Jigyasa Sharma, and Feng Zhao

Health care systems must be prepared to address the expanding and complex needs of an aging population. Rather than a “silver challenge,” this should be seen as an opportunity to reevaluate and reorganize healthcare delivery systems holistically.

The country and regional case studies compiled in this volume provide a comprehensive examination of care for older adults in diverse economic and geographical contexts. The volume includes practical insights for decision making, knowledge sharing, and cross learning. It complements a synthesis volume of global evidence— Silver Opportunity: Building Integrated Services for Older Adults around Primary Health Care —offering a deeper understanding of the complexities, key issues, and current practices. The overarching goal of the volume is to inform policy makers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders about effective practices for caring for older adults and support the development of evidence-based policies that enhance their health and well-being.

FALLING LONG-TERM GROWTH PROSPECTS Trends, Expectations, and Policies

Edited by M. Ayhan Kose and Franziska Ohnsorge

A structural growth slowdown is underway across the world: at current trends, the global potential growth rate is expected to fall to a three-decade low over the remainder of the 2020s. Nearly all the forces that have powered growth and prosperity since the early 1990s have weakened, not only because of a series of shocks to the global economy over the past three years. A persistent and broad-based decline in long-term growth prospects imperils the ability of emerging market and developing economies to combat poverty, tackle climate change, and meet other key development objectives. These challenges call for an ambitious policy response at the national and global levels. This book presents the first detailed analysis of the growth slowdown and a rich menu of policy options to deliver better growth outcomes.
