Circle of Life
Nazeera Adam deeply values the presence of her parents, aged 70 (mother) and 81 (father), as she navigates the critical and transformative journey of raising her three children. Their support and help are indispensable, and she recognizes the importance of their involvement in her children’s lives, especially her baby’s. Nazeera realizes the significance of her parents’ well- being and is committed to ensuring their sustained health and happiness. The companionship and quality time parents share with their families not only brings them joy, but also contributes to their overall well-being, warding off feels of loneliness and enriching their lives in healthy ways.
It is important to recognize that the right set of policies can equip individuals, families, and societies to address the challenges and embrace the benefits of population ageing. The empowerment of women plays a key role in this regard. When women are empowered, whole families benefit, creating a ripple effect that extends to future generations. By investing in every stage of their life - from childbirth to adolescence to adulthood, we can foster healthy and active ageing, benefiting not only women but entire countries.
