Description | ||||||
Social protection plays a particularly important role in poverty reduction and actively contributions to the realization of the human rights of older individuals. Myanmar is currently undergoing a significant demographic transformation marked by a rapid increase in its aging population, driven by declining fertility rates and increasing life expectancy. With this demographic shift, older people face unique challenges, warranting careful consideration to ensure their well-being and social protection. This study aims to identify the existing programs, assess their effectiveness in improving the well-being and livelihoods of older people, and analyze barriers and challenges within the system. This study used the qualitative approach and descriptive research method to comprehensively evaluate social protection initiatives targeting older individuals in Myanmar. The study collected data through semi-structured key informant interviews and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders. Many respondents have emphasized the significance of the non-contributory Social Pension Program as a vital means to enhance support. This is particularly crucial because old-age pensioners constitute a minority within the population. Additionally, the Older People Self-Help Groups (OPSHGs) play a pivotal role in meeting the diverse needs of elderly members in the community, including livelihood, healthcare, and home care services. By establishing OPSHGs in every ward and village, we can nurture connections with key stakeholders and relevant organizations, effectively addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by older individuals. This comprehensive approach ensures that the social protection needs of older people are adequately met. |
