Adapting to ageing society demands radical rethink As we all live longer it is time to put down yesterday's tools, reconsider our assumptions about what it means to be old, and innovate to create new models of living in order to adapt to an ageing society We are all living five hours a day longer. It sounds improbable but these extra hours are real, the catch is that they are being added on to the end of our lives. This figure comes from the work of Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom who has calculated what current lifespan increases are equivalent to on a daily basis. This is a remarkable fact but it is also an unexpected phenomenon. With these increasing lifespans and the 'baby boomers' entering later life, we think it is time to radically rethink assumptions about ageing and what it means to be old. The first is that innovation in ageing tends to focus on the dramatic advances we have witnessed in science and technology.

Public/social/private partnership Public/social/private partnerships are methods of co-operation between private and government bodies. Background[edit] Models of cooperation between the market and the state: examples from Austria[edit] The name “public social private partnership” (PSPP) is a development of Public Private Partnership (PPP). PPP is one expression of a strong trend towards (re)privatisation, which in some European countries has arisen as a result of more difficult economic conditions in recent years and the associated structural crisis in the public sector (see Eschenbach, Müller, Gabriel: 1993). The growth in public-private partnerships as a way of fulfilling public tasks in partnership between the state administration and private enterprises must be seen in this context. In political discussions, lack of public funds is often put forward as a limit on state activities. In PPPs, the ownership of the project is shared. From PPP to PSPP[edit] Description[edit] Purposes[edit] Roles and functions[edit]
