What Aging Policy Problem Matters Most to Me and Why

Prepare a written essay of not more than 750 words on an aging policy or problem that matters most to you and why. The policy/problem can be local, state, national or international. Your interest can be personal, ethical, social, economic, religious, but it should move beyond what you’ve studied in other classes and include a connection to public policy.

Your discussion must include the following:

1) What is the aging policy problem that matters most to you?

2) Why do you care about this issue?

3) Why should policy makers care about this issue?

Some illustrative examples are provided in Chapter 7 of your textbook.

Additional potentially relevant policy problems include i) the epidemic of loneliness among older adults, ii) evacuation of older adults during wildfires in California and iii) the cost and quality of long-term care in the US.
