AS our population grows old- er, which jobs will grow? Our ageing population brings economic challenges for the country. But what job opportunities might this bring?
Health and social care The obvious growth area
for jobs is in health and so- cial care services. These jobs could be in hospitals, clin- ics, residential care homes and services in the home. But it’s not just traditional healthcare roles that might be in greater demand – for example, there could be more openings for music and art therapists to help Alzhei- mer’s patients, and occu- pational therapists to help patients cope with physical conditions and to live inde- pendently.
Technology On the subject of living independently,
technology
will have a big part to play in helping older people cope with common long-term con- ditions such as heart failure, stroke, diabetes and demen-

This technology can be simple aids and adaptations such as ramps, hand-rails, grab bars, stair lifts and wheelchairs.

yoga, walking and golf are increasingly popular.
Benefits of keeping older people in mind There is also evidence that many businesses and servic- es could do much more to meet the needs of older peo- ple. For example, many train stations could benefit from upgrades to help people with mobility impairments. And in the hospitality industry, simple adjustments like easi- er access to get in and around buildings and more targeted promotional deals with older people in mind could harness the spending power of older people.
