Baby Boom to Bust: Grey Tsunami

OPIS

The second episode takes us into the lives of people across the world already impacted by the inevitable march of global ageing. To China to investigate the plight of the elderly in the countryside; Australia, to meet the ‘sandwich generation’ which finds itself trapped between caring for both grown up children and frail parents; to Japan who are looking to robots rather than immigrants to care for their senior citizens; and to Italy, the country which for generations sent its own workers abroad, now depends on illegal immigrants to care for its elderly.
