More on pension incomes from around the OECD

If in doubt, create a marketing coinage – "baby gloomers" – those who don't feel certain their pension / savings will see them through their retirement

Surprised that “telecare” involves monitoring. My naive outsider view was that it was about access to interaction with a caregiver. It makes sense that monitoring is part of that, but I’ve always thought about it as videoconferencing-writ-large. Shows what little I know about the topic!

Telecare alarms are monitored when they are activated but are not monitored actively 24/7 in the sense that people at the back end know where the wearer is – they represent reactive telecare. However, other forms of telecare such as bed sensors – which are very often used where people have dementia and might wander in the night – tend to be much more actively monitored. A proactive form of telecare.
