Dealing with an Aging Workforce in NH, and Geriatric Medicine. That's NOW on NH Outlook.where NH talks. |
| Hello/Intro Aging Return to index of stories... |
In Manchester & Nashua and cities and towns across New Hampshire the issue of our aging population is top of mind. Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook. We're coming to you from Manchester. In this program, a look at the rapidly "aging" population and the challenges and opportunities that come with it. We begin with, the older worker phenemon. By the end of the decade baby boomers, some 40-percent of the workforce are poised to retire, launching the biggest retirement wave in US history. If you look at NH, 58-percent of the workforce is over 45. In the next few years, 40-percent of the state's college-educated workers are set to retire. A recent AARP NH study also found that -- while 60-percent of NH businesses believe they'll likely face a shortage of qualified workers only 10-percent have taken steps to prepare for it. At a forum in Manchester, AARP's National Director of workforce issues spoke to NH business and policy leaders about the impact of the coming demographic shift. I sat down with Deborah Russell to get her views on the coming age wave. |

Medicine management with author & geriatric authority, Dr. Bill Thomas. |
| Intro AARP Conf Return to index of stories... |
AARP has launched a campaign called "Medicines & You." It's aimed at educating all of us about drugs and how to become smart patients. Taking charge of your own health care was the message Dr. Bill Thomas brought to New Hampshire in May of 2006. He's considered an international authority on geriatric medicine and travels the country addressing the issue of aging and the wise use of pharmaceuticals. I sat down with Doctor Thomas to get his views on health care, aging and his latest book: "What are Old People for? How Elders will save the World." |

Most of us are not 27-years old, 6 feet tall, with 20/20 vision and a good grip. Yet, designers often use those specs in product development and architecture. A new worldwide design movement seeks to change that by designing a world that is more inclusive. Valerie Fletcher is a pioneer in the "Universal Design movement" which is aimed at making products, communication and architecture accessible to the broadest range of users. It goes beyond ramps and guardrails. In the Spring of 2006, the Executive Director of the Boston-Based non-profit, Adaptive Environments, shared her views at the New Hampshire Conference on Aging. I sat down with Fletcher to talk about the international movement with the central premise of: what works well for an aging or disabled population works better for everyone. |

An international conference on Universal Design and Aging will be held in Montreal in May of 2008. More than 5-thousand participants from 60 nations are expected. |
