老年人部长Ayesha Verrall博士今天在新西兰的虚拟老龄化愿景会议上发起了更好的晚年生活行动计划，为新西兰老年人的美好未来开辟了道路。
Ayesha Verrall 说：”更好的晚年生活 是我们的战略，确保新西兰人能够随着年龄的增长而过上有价值的、相互联系的和充实的生活。在为晚年行动计划的工作开始后不久，COVID-19就袭击了。大流行导致了我们的晚年计划，因为我们知道COVID-19对我们老年人口产生了重大影响，并且需要集中力量采取行动，帮助我们更好地恢复，同时促进新西兰的复苏。这一战略还是为了规划人口老龄化带来的机遇和挑战。
到2034年，我们预计新西兰将有大约120万65岁及以上的人，超过我们人口的五分之一。 更好的晚年行动计划是实现我们愿景的主要步骤。它规定了政府在今后三年内执行该战略的承诺，特别侧重于就业、住房和数字包容。 老年工人应该得到支持，以使用他们的技能和经验，我们希望看到合适的住房，以满足老年人的多样化需求。该计划还旨在增强老年人接受技术的能力，同时确保那些不上网的人仍然能够获得基本服务。
这项工作已经开始，包括为年长企业家进行试点，研究共同生活安排，支持毛利人随着年龄的增长而管理和开发住房，以及成功的老年人数字扫盲培训方案”。 Ayesha Verrall说：”这个计划是一项合作努力，汇集了中央政府的各个机构，为老年人提供更好的结果，并为Covid-19的复苏做出贡献。 《行动计划》是在奥特亚罗亚的《老龄愿景》会议上启动的，该会议因COVID-19而在网上启动。 行动计划可在老年人办公室网站上找到。 2021年预算在2021年预算中拨款196.5万纽币，用于执行2019年启动的改善晚年生活战略。
Better Later Life Action Plan launched
Minister for Seniors Dr Ayesha Verrall has today launched the Better Later Life Action Plan at the virtual Vision for Ageing in Aotearoa conference, setting out a pathway for a better future for older New Zealanders.
“Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua is our strategy for ensuring New Zealanders can lead valued, connected and fulfilling lives as they age,” Ayesha Verrall said.
“Soon after work began on an Action Plan for He Oranga Kaumātua, COVID-19 struck. The pandemic has shaped our plan, because we know the significant impact COVID-19 has had on our older population, and the need to focus on actions that will help us to build back better, while contributing to New Zealand’s recovery.
“This strategy is also about planning for the opportunities and challenges that come with an ageing population. By 2034 we expect there will be around 1.2 million people aged 65 and over in New Zealand; just over a fifth of our population.
“The Better Later Life Action Plan is a major step in delivering our vision. It sets the Government’s commitments for implementing the strategy over the next three years – with a particular focus on employment, housing and digital inclusion.
“Older workers deserve to be supported to use their skills and experience, and we want to see suitable housing that meets the diverse needs of older people. The plan also aims to empower older people to embrace technology, while ensuring those who aren’t online are still able to access essential services.
“This work has already begun, including a pilot for older entrepreneurs, research on shared living arrangements, support for Māori to manage and develop housing for whānau as they age, and the successful Digital Literacy Training for Seniors programme.
“This plan is a collaborative effort, bringing together agencies across central government to deliver better outcomes for older people and contribute to the Covid-19 recovery,” Ayesha Verrall said.
The Action Plan was launched at the Vision for Ageing in Aotearoa conference, which moved online because of COVID-19.
The Action Plan can be found on the Office for Seniors website.
Funding of $1.965 million over four years was allocated in Budget 2021 for the implementation of the Better Later Life strategy, which was launched in 2019.
