New Perspectives on Elderly Rights” Series of Lectures Explore elderly rights and welfare with us.
In response to Taiwan’s aging population, which is approaching 20%, the government has invested substantial resources to safeguard the rights of the elderly. This includes support in areas such as healthcare, long-term care, social activities, housing, transportation, and public environment, aiming to prevent social marginalization and alleviate family burdens.
To address these comprehensive welfare issues through education and industry collaboration, NCKU’s Center for Safe and Sustainable Development and Associate Professor Wan-Ju Yeh from the Department of Law, in cooperation with the Tainan City Land and Law Association, are hosting a five-part lecture series starting July 27. The series invites leading scholars and experts, along with members of the Tainan City Land and Law Association, to discuss topics related to elderly rights. These include end-of-life medical autonomy, guardianship and property protection, inheritance registration, fraud prevention, property trusts, housing and notarization systems, and family asset succession.
The first lecture, on July 27, featured Dr. Wen-Rong Sun from Tainan City Hospital, who discussed the legislative process and challenges of patient autonomy laws. This was followed by Professor Sieh-Chuen Huang from National Taiwan University, who examined will-making practices and practical issues, offering insights into legal and procedural aspects. The session fostered engaging discussions and provided valuable feedback for future research.
NCKU’s Dean of Social Sciences, Dr. Fu-Zen Shaw, emphasized the importance of maintaining the dignity of the elderly, not only through personal care but also through financial support. The university aims to play a leading role in promoting these issues and raising societal awareness.
The “New Perspectives on Elderly Rights” series will cover comprehensive discussions on issues related to elderly welfare, differing from typical seminars by addressing all aspects of elderly care and financial management. The remaining four lectures will continue to explore these critical topics. Interested individuals are encouraged to register. 【More Information】
