Studies show that staying socially and economically engaged post-60 significantly slows cognitive decline. In the new longevity economy, we must learn, unlearn, and relearn. Reskilling is the engine of an active, engaged silver workforce.

Behind every thriving ASEAN city is an invisible army of caregivers. Their work is the foundation of our resilience, yet it remains the 'missing piece' of our GDP.

Unpaid elder care, performed predominantly by women, is estimated to be worth up to 11% of GDP across Southeast Asia. In countries like Viet Nam and Thailand, women spend nearly 5 times more hours on unpaid care than men (ILO 2025/2026). Recognising this invisible GDP is the first step toward a resilient fiscal future.

How can we better support the caregivers in our own communities? Share your thoughts below. 👇

It's time to dismantle the "generational war" narrative and recognise that our futures are inextricably linked.

At , ACAI's featured panel session 1.4 focused on bridging the gap between generations. Building this requires the creation of sustainable care ecosystems and evidence-informed policy pathways that support every stage of life. From intergenerational self-help groups to youth-led health interventions for older people, the goal is to build a social contract where no age group is left behind. We must move beyond age-based silos to ensure that digital inclusion, climate justice, and healthcare access remain universal rights across the life course.

Special thanks to our incredible line-up of keynote speaker, panelists, and moderator for sharing their expertise.

The ACAI-led special session “From Evidence to Action: Advancing Regional Strategies for Active Ageing” concluded as part of a broader series of meetings convened by ACAI during .

The session marked the launch of the Final ASEAN Regional Action Plan (RAP) on Active Ageing and brought together regional policymakers, researchers, and partners to reflect on the ASEAN Active Ageing Index (AAAI) as a practical tool to support evidence-based policy, monitoring, and learning across ASEAN.

We extend our sincere thanks to the moderator and all speakers for their thoughtful insights, and to the country focal points for their continued technical contributions and commitment throughout this phase.

ACAI gratefully acknowledges the generous support of IDRC / CRDI and Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund, whose support has enabled sustained regional dialogue, consultation, and collaboration.

On Day 2 of the Side Meeting at , the conversation shifted from the "what" to the "how." While data and technology are the engines of an active ageing society, inter-regional and multi-stakeholder collaboration is the fuel.

The big question is "What are the practical steps for concerted efforts?"

Our panel of leaders and experts emphasised the importance of connecting policy to practice, which requires mechanisms to ensure these collaborations are grounded in the real lives of ageing people in their communities.

Thank you to all our attendees and supporters for making these two days such a resounding success, especially Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund, IDRC / CRDI ERIA: Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia JICA - Japan International Cooperation Agency Japan Center for International Exchange
