A composite picture of tomorrow’s seniors: it’s a very different picture!
Tuesday 26th 9.30-10.30 pm / Pasteur Room
‘ Young ‘ is not a pejorative term so why should ‘ old ‘ be ? Say goodbye to sterotypes !
The silver wave which is coming is far from just being a huge demographic change. The individuals who make up the demographic trends and data are products of their time, its social movements, ideology and technology. How do the emerging new generations of seniors themselves view their lives in their old age ? The well-known ‘ baby boomers’ , who , it is said, have had it easy and are often criticized for their carefree , consumer lifestyles also broke with their traditions. How do they see their future in their old age ? In what ways are they prepared to use their financial assets in the event of losing their autonomy ? Two experts on ‘getting the most out of old age ‘ will present the main points from the Oui Care study on future seniors ( age 54- 74).
- « So how can we help Mum ? » Reassessing seniors’ lives whilst also looking after their helpers and carers.
Tuesday 26th 2-3 pm / Pasteur Room

Laurent Levasseur, President of Bluelinea, will provide insight into the important issues in the sector required to care for both the elderly wishing to grow older at home and their family and friends who help them on a day to day basis . Key players in the Silver Economy and the Personal Service sector will take part in the session.

Tuesday 26th 5 – 6 pm / Pasteur Room
