Strategy to transform Portugal into elderly haven presented to government

It has taken over a year to prepare and was presented to the government on Monday.

The national strategy for healthy and active old age, 2017-2025, has been created in the context that it is “urgent to adapt to an aging population”

Says Público, in a “not too distant future” more than a third of the country will be over-65. The challenge is how to ensure Portugal remains sustainable.
