Asia is facing an ageing crisis. Advancements in healthcare  
provisions coupled with rising wealth levels in the region, have  
increased life expectancy, just as birth rates, in some Asian  
countries have fallen to record lows. The result is that the  
region’s senior (aged 65 and above) population will nearly triple  
by 2050 to 945 million. The number of people aged 75 and  
above (needing some sort of assistance in their daily lives) will  
jump from 137 million to 437 million over the same period.  
This massive demographic shift raises questions about  
how already strained health and pension systems can be  
reengineered to cope with the needs of rapidly ageing  
populations. Less discussed, but no less important, are the  
implications for housing. Traditionally, in many Asian societies,  
the elderly have resided with their children, but trends like  
smaller families and rising divorce rates have challenged this  
practice. More infrastructure will need to be created for the  
rising number of seniors who will be residing independently  
and to cater for those in need of different degrees of daily  
assistance and medical care.
