Dr. Blair Roblin shares his thoughts on the biggest social phenomenon to hit us in the 21st century – the aging of our society. Population aging will soon impact all facets of our lives, with health and health care being among the most significant. Blair holds a PhD in health policy and gerontology from the University of Toronto and a master’s degree in disability studies from York University.
Understanding the challenges in seniors’ health requires an examination of chronic illness and its growing prevalence worldwide. In responding to these challenges, health care has become the largest single expense for most governments. As a researcher in health care services for seniors, Blair speaks to the growing demand for home care and nursing homes, lengthening wait lists, the burgeoning private-pay sector and the gaps in equity of access to seniors’ care.
