Unconscious Biases of Care
Lynn Yu Ling Ng
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
In this paper, I discuss my interview findings with various stakeholders in the care systems of Singapore and Taiwan using the theoretical resources from feminist care ethics scholarship. I analyse the narratives of care work gathered from informant groups like domestic employers of ‘migrant maids’ who provide informal home care services, family caregivers and NGO activists to contrast how childare and eldercare is treated by households in both locations. My purpose is to spark critical conservations about the hierarchies of care work in social reproduction. For example, one key question that emerges is: Why is childcare valued more highly over eldercare in feminist agendas, and what implications does the omission of eldercare by Marxist Left activism raise for Confucian cultures like Singapore and Taiwan? Using NVivo software, I conduct a qualitative open coding of twenty interviews spread across the aforementioned respondent groups. I generated the key themes based on my informants’ experiences with the care system, emphasising their word choices and quoting them where relevant. Ultimately, I find that for the quality of care provision to improve, deep structural changes at the level of individual mindsets about gendered divsios of labor in the household are necessary. At a social policy level, I suggest rethinking the sustainability of relying on ‘migrant maids’ for home care. The widespread antagonism directed at foreigners for society’s unmet care needs is misplaced. Upon closer inspection, patriarchal capitalist structures that devalue both the elderly citizenry and transient workers are what the people need to lobby against.

Caring for the Aged
Philip Egbule
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
Aging is a normal stage in life. It is a period in life after physical growth has ended. The aged deserves recognition and respect from all. This call is mainly on the immediate family members (children), secondly, the government considering the economic burden associated with old age in the global south. Recent happenings have emphatically demonstrated a growing vulnerability to the aged and its threats to human right and survival. For instance, delay in the payment of gratuity and pension by the Nigerian government is one of the serious challenges among the aged. In the pre-colonial era Nigerian societies, family support for the elderly was a necessity. However, change in cultural values has eroded these practices in Nigeria. Hence, this paper is a clarion call for the re-visitation and revival of those vital Nigerian cultural values, especially respect, care, love for elders and neighbourly interest. Most importantly, this study investigates the socio-cultural pathways to be taken in building conducive environments for the aged despite the high rate of corruption in Nigeria. To achieve these objectives, the study adopts the method of content analysis of relevant existing literature, materials, pictures, videos and news reports to draw up conclusion based on the workshop’s goals. The paper recommends the prioritization of social welfare policies and as indispensable antidote to curtail the effects of social change on man in general. In conclusion a climate of love and respect, interaction and togetherness should characterize the environment of the aged.

Major Depressive Disorder in Elderly South Asian Immigrant Populations in the U.S.
Jeevan Jain Cocks
Poster Session
As the number of immigrants and proportion of elderly grows in the population, mental health outcomes for these populations is an increasingly important topic. The purpose of this literature review is to collect the available research about Major Depressive Disorder in elderly South Asian immigrant populations in the U.S., with respect to biological, psychological, and social factors. Risk factors (both individual and systemic) are explored that may be connected to MDD, and common misdiagnoses, assessments, and interventions that may help address MDD will be discussed. Relational factors and interventions are focused on as an area of potential use in the work of systemic therapists. Finally, limitations of research and directions for future research are uncovered.

Grip Strength as a Key to Longevity
Tolulope Adeniji
Poster Session
Grip strength is a biomarker of ageing at the level of body function that explains many diseases conditions in older adults such as cognitive impairment, falls, and many other geriatric syndromes, and it has also been noted that a strong grip strength may indicate living a long life. It is therefore critical to provide an overview of how to measure and improve grip strength in order to provide better care for older adults and increase their longevity. A narrative review of the literature on grip strength measurement and intervention in older adults was conducted and PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were searched for themes on mechanism of hand grip strength, grip strength measurement, and novel interventions on non-pharmacological means (physiotherapy) of optimizing grip strength in older adults. Hand grip strength can be measured with a dynamometer, and hand dexterity and coordination, which are required for good gripping ability, can be measured with a box and block test, but special tests like hand nerve supply integrity and blood supply assessment are required during hand function evaluation for optimal gripping ability. Grip strength is a biomarker of aging and element of longevity that necessitates an appropriate combination of interventions in therapeutic exercises, electrotherapy modalities, and biomechanical approaches for an effective therapeutic outcome. With literature pointing to grip strength as a biomarker of aging and an element of longevity, optimizing hand function may be fundamental and should be included in all physiotherapy interventions for older adults.

Aging is a Major Cause of Suffering in Our Century
Raiany Romanni
Focused Discussion
Today, some two thirds of all human funerals owe to the processes of aging. Only 3.7 per cent of cancer patients are under thirty-four, and if a cure for all types of cancers were miraculously found, it would add no more than two years to the average human lifespan. But while the term “pandemic” — from the Greek pán (“all”) and dēmos (“people”) — does not imply infectious disease, our ethics prevent us from applying it to the nearly 100,000 daily deaths caused by aging. In 2021, we all agree that the effects of aging must be treated. The United States alone spends over $300 billion taxpayer dollars each year on the treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s, and the trillions of dollars spent on COVID-19 by this single country, in this single year, make for a painful calculation. But to preventively fund aging research itself goes beyond the reactive purview of both politics and medical systems.

Age Discrimination and Depression among Older Adults in South Korea During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Hyun Kang,
Emily S. Ihara
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
This study examines the association between age discrimination and depression among South Korean older adults and whether regular exercise can moderate this association. There has been a noticeable rise in age discrimination in both the media and the society during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Age discrimination results in an internalization of ageist attitudes and stereotypes, resulting in decreased self-efficacy and increased negative emotions, which have negative impacts on the health of older adults. Regular exercise has rarely been discussed as a possible intervention against ageism, but it has been shown to boost self-esteem and enhance positive self-perceptions of aging, so it might reduce the psychological detrimental effects of internalized ageism that are caused by perceived age discrimination. A total of 10,327 older adults (65+) were analyzed using the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans. Depression was regressed on age discrimination while age, gender, education, marital status, self-rated health, and employment status were controlled. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to examine the moderating effect of exercise. We found that higher levels of age discrimination were directly associated with higher levels of depression, and exercise acted as a buffer that decreases the negative influence of age discrimination on depression. In the face of adversity, older adults’ regular exercise serves as an important mechanism for combating ageism by properly managing stress and enhancing self-resilience. Our findings contribute to the development of practice interventions that mitigate the negative effects of age discrimination on older adults, particularly following the pandemic.

Researching Social Isolation and Digital Relationships With Empathy
Marek Hasa
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
When a socially isolated older person develops a human connection enabled by digital media, in what ways does this affect her everyday reality and self-perception? While the field of gerontechnology continues to grow the body of objectivistic knowledge regarding the effectiveness of various digital interventions and specific design features addressing loneliness, we remain distanced from understanding the impact of digital interactions on isolated older adults' identities and lived experiences in its full complexity. To close this gap, this paper proposes a human-first, phenomenology- and hermeneutics-driven approach. In May and June 2021, 15 pairs of younger volunteers and socially isolated older adults, equipped with tablets, were guided to gradually build a digital friendship over four weeks. While training the older participants during home visits and collecting rich multimodal data through observations, in-depth interviews, phone check-ups, and participants' communication logs, diverse ethical motivations led the author to abandon the idea of maintaining a completely rational, distanced position through phenomenological bracketing. The unprecedented sensitivity of the interplay between older age and loneliness, as well as its manifestation during the technology acceptance and learning process required the involvement of empathy and emotionality on the researcher's side. Reflecting on the methodological process of the present study, this paper offers key learnings and highlight crucial ethical considerations for future qualitative research with older adults. Moreover, the study's preliminary findings are shared to shed more light on the various identity and wellbeing changes new technology adoption may trigger in older adults.

Leisure and Life Satisfaction
Ashwin Tripathi
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
The paper analyses the social inequalities embedded in time-use dimensions among the older adults from the recently released dataset Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI; Wave 1, 2017-2018). With dramatic shifts and changes in later-life, scholars have recorded an emerging cultural movement of third-agers, who are defined by their leisure pursuits. Although social engagement through leisure has been known to be an important determinant for older adults’ wellbeing, the empirical examination of this association remains absent in the Indian gerontological scholarship. Therefore, we examine how everyday leisure activities vary by gender, class and living-arrangement patterns and its association with life satisfaction among older adults aged 50 and above. Results from regression modelling offer support to previous work that emphasizes the centrality of leisure engagement in improving older adult wellbeing. We also contend that a focus on leisure patterns make for a persuasive empirical alternative to examine household-level inequalities across gender and generation.
