Tiivistelmä
Preparation of the programme on ageing is included in the Government Programme of Prime Minister Marin’s Government (2020). This report discusses the cross-administrative measures of the programme on ageing, which will be implemented during this government term, and describes the factors related to ageing and the anticipated changes in the operating environment. The work has been prepared by the preparatory group for the programme on ageing.
The key impact objectives of the programme on ageing 2030 are to direct to older people and risk groups preventive measures that improve functional ability; to extend the functional ability and working careers of older working-age people, especially in social and health care; to increase and enable voluntary work; to ensure the equality, more efficient coordination and economic sustainability of services for older people; to increase the age-friendliness of housing and residential environments; and to highlight the development and utilisation of Finnish technology for ageing.
The action plan outlines measures for both the current government term (2020–2023) and, provisionally, future government terms (2023–2030) in relation to six main impact objectives.
During the current government term, the objectives of the programme on ageing will also be implemented as part of other measures such as the health and social services reform. The other planned measures will focus on supporting voluntary work, planning the introduction of welfare technology, developing housing and residential environments, developing services for older people, and projects related to the wellbeing and availability of personnel. The part of the ageing programme for the years 2023–2030 will be prepared by the end of the current government term.
