This assignment requires you to write a 3 page (double spaced paper) on the following prompts:
1. What are the obstacles older people face to accessing good food and an environment that encourages safe exercise?
2. What are some biases people have about older individuals (ageism, etc.)?
2. How can we lift some of the midlife burdens that prevent savings and triggers a desire to get out of the workforce as soon as possible, and is this where paid family leave might be considered?
3. What social programs are already in place to maintain solvency as well as create innovation that will help all people work longer?
You are welcome to bring in information from the textbook and the webpages, and include your own reflection on what you’ve learned. With the vast information contained in these sources, you should not need outside additional sources (please do not reference outside sources).
