XL Conference on Health Economics - "Reconciling immediacy and the future in health, social policies and economics".

It may be easy to talk about people over 80 in the country with the highest life expectancy globally. But we're always plagued by the question "and how is life then, how should it be": it's easy to say, "add life, quality of life, to the years". What is the reality, is our environment ready, what activities are performed and can be performed? The last table of the #JornadasAES is dedicated to this issue, "What are we doing for the quality of life of people beyond the age of 80?". Elena del Barrio, from Fundación Matia Instituto will talk to us about the surely little known concept of "ageism" and its consequences as well as actions to avoid it.
