The growing senior market: Rising demand, limited supply

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

The growing senior market: Rising demand, limited supply

Post by Adam Xie »

Phnom Penh Post:

One UN estimate projects an increase in the size of the elderly population from 1.1 million in 2015 to around two million in 2030.

The Ministry of Health has contended that by 2050, one in five Cambodians (21 per cent) will be over 60.

While certainly a challenge to Cambodia, this also presents an opportunity as a new market with growing demand develops.
To date, there are very few private firms focused on serving the elderly, yet there are reasons to be confident that businesses serving seniors are likely to be profitable and sustainable as the demand for products and services for the elderly is already high despite the absence of firms to meet this steadily increasing demand.

Its not going to be an easy project, elder with good financial status can have necessary services at nearby country, where those with lower financial status, not able to pay for a good one. Its a good chance, but require in depth study to make it happen and survive in free market.

Well that's all good news. Now when I get old I will be able to enter a old folks home in Cambodia instead of Australia.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

saw a short news item on BBC this morning,
a retirement community in Canada for those that suffer from dementia.

Its a 7 acre fenced in, ( ie read walls) where they can freely walk around
costs start at C$7,000/month!!
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
