Daily Cuts - Why don't elderly men get involved in activities

Keeping our seniors healthy, both physically and mentally, is becoming more important, given Singapore’s rapidly-ageing society. But a recent CNA report found a glaring disparity between elderly men and women who participate in activities organised for them. One large community organisation that supports the elderly told us that men make up only 10 percent of its participants. Associate Professor Carol Ma, Head of Gerontology Programmes, SUSS tells us why social engagement is important for the elderly, and how we can get more men involved.
