有關老人健康的英文翻譯(禁用翻譯機) - 社會議題

Taiwan's population has been steadily aging since 1993 and, by 2021, about 15% of the population is expected to be 65 years of age or older. Research has demonstrated a connection between poverty and old age, with aging the leading cause of poverty and poor health ,resulting in inability to work, the second. The number of elderly in poverty has increased from 84,462 in 1994 to 156,446 in 2004. Low-income elderly suffer from greater health problems due to difficulties in securing the basic necessities for health, such as adequate housing, food, water and medical/health care services. The result is a vicious cycle of sickness, aging and poverty.
National assistance policies targeting low-income people, however, largely focus on delivering financial assistance rather than enhancing recipient capabilities to work or improving their health condition. The Taipei City Government's Bureau of Social Affairs runs various social programs tailored to assist low-income people, including"right to survival", "right to health" ,"right to housing", "right to education", and "right to work". Each program covers fees according to recipient needs. For example, the "right to health" program includes covers the costs of insurance, medical and hospitalization fees for low-income households.
