| Abstract |
There are 5 strategic frameworks for elderly welfare in Perlis, namely Strategy 1 - Strengthening the welfare ecosystem (strategic collaboration across sectors to build a strong social support network in Perlis); Strategy 2 - Developing an elderly-friendly environment (modifying the state's physical and social landscape to be inclusive, conducive, and safe for senior mobility); Strategy 3 - Empowering Senior Economic Participation (driving the state's 'Silver Economy' through labor sector flexibility and micro-business initiatives); Strategy 4 - Lifelong learning and digital inclusion (eliminating digital gaps and ensuring ongoing tech adaptation for independent seniors); and Strategy 5 - Strengthening evidence-based governance (policy making and program evaluations must be assessed empirically based on demographic data and real feedback). |
