I am also interested in accessibility. I.e. relationship/correlation between hometechnology availability and disparities 9n the 9ne hand, and health insurance companies on the other.

I am sorry not to be able to stay until the end. My email is: Habbalf@SEAS.Harvard.edu, please write if you wish, and I would welcome your collaborations.

thank you!

Would happy to

what is notably to me at least is that these ideas and programs could (and should) apply to vulnerability in general. In many countries, people don't have a chance to age, prescisely BECAUSE of the lack of material and social supports.

as of 2019 I just looked it up, methane lasts only about 10 or 12 years in the atmosphere. has something changed altering this assessment, suggested earlier? thanks.

are there attempts to distinguish the orientations of those who recover from illnesses or whose aging experiences seem to become limited?

Regrets that I have to jump off now for another meeting. Thank you all for this seminar and standout work!

that is, what sorts of attitudes are characteristic of those who are able to extend significantly, their lives?

Are there discussions about increasing the age of retirement and do people now find other employment or business opportunities for their older years given that work is a major source of dignity as well as financial benefit?

There are indeed calls to increase the retirement age in China.

Thank you Ning An

Am pleased to see a woman on the panel. Given the data on gender and aging (longevity in particular) I’ve been curious that issues particular to women have not been part of the presentations. Did I miss something?

Does the program involve financial protection for the elderly given that their retirement age is 55/60 years and average life expectancy 82/86 years. The lack of financial protection for an extra 30 years could take a toll in their quality of life.

Women are actually more active in their retirement than men in China.

are there degrees of relative poverty/ deprivation, below which motivations to live longer, diminish?

I suspect this is true in other cultural contexts as well, including US

Same in US. Bus lines serving state and federal benefit agencies locations are meeting points, where passengers exchange information, develop relationships with the driver serving said lines, and even advertising at these stations boards target a specif population of certain socio-economic status.

Responds to Arthur - The rural bus in china as a social care measure gives us a new perspective on Social Technology for aging.

Have to leave meeting now, learned a lot

that’s honoring what matters; practically helping and dignity

Many thanks for this interesting presentation. Nice to hear about aging in China.

Thank you for this wonderful seminar!

Thank your for the invitation to the Seminar. It was very interesting.

When women retired in China, lots of them are busy with square dance :-( For those who are not familiar with the square dancing, the following YouTube video showed many aspects of it including conflicts with other people, WeChat usage within the group, etc. Highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU74qF2YvZ8

Thank you for all participants and organizers. I have to go back to work.

I have to drop off — thank you for the rich discussion!

Very, very thought provoking. Thank you.

thanks everyone!

Thank you! I look forward to hearing updates!
