中文摘要

我國即將進入老人人口超過總人口數百分之14 的高齡社會 門檻,政府也正如火如荼地開始進行著老化體系或方案的推動。 自1994 年我國邁入高齡化社會後,即老人人口超過總人口數百 分之七,政府積極著手規劃及啟動各類老化照護政策。但審視這 些照護政策與方案,顯現的是對老人族群普同性的實施,而未有 殊異性的個適方案,因而漏失了某些族群的老化議題、權利與需 求,使世代共融、健康自主的成功老化願景或為一種浮世假象。 因此,本文即以北美多元性別族群的老化議題為例作為引子,期 冀政府或社會大眾能關注特殊族群的老化需求,並作為完善老化 政策及促進社會發展的參考。

英文摘要

The change of population structure with aging population has big impacts on all aspects of country development in Taiwan. According to the rapid aging population of Taiwan, Council for Economic Planning and Development predicts that aging population will increase to 14 percent by 2017 and head into an “aged society”. As this trend emerges, Taiwan government has responded to providing health care policies or strategies for the future development since 1994. But overall types of care provided by older adults, the similarity is that they do not vary by gender in substantial ways, especially by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elders. Therefore, this article aims to discuss on LGBT caring issues and hope to raise awareness about the concerns of older LGBT people. Then the government and health care institutions can improve the quality of services and supports offered to older LGBT people.
