The stage of older adults is currently seeing the greatest growth in the number of people, also referred to as the aging population. This stage is of great interest to policy makers because it has significant implications for healthcare, social security, and pension systems. With this growth, policy makers need to address the issues of retirement, elder care, and the quality of life of the elderly population.
