Utilizing domestic statistics results\, Prof. Choi emphasized that the result of the index is not far from the reality of Korean older people’s life. \nMs. Usa Khiewrod\, the Regional Programme Manager of East Asia Pacific Regional Office of HelpAge International addressed the importance of social pensions as income security in old age should be a concern of all ages not about vulnerable group only\, and social security in old age is a human right. \nProfessor Eun-sun Ju from Social Welfare division of Kyunggi University pointed out how the social pension schemes of Korea should be developed and the most urgent issue of Korean social pension scheme is to delinkage with National Pension and Basic Pension. \nAgendas for the future from the 5th AgeTalk: \n\nThe amount of Basic Pension of Korea should be reached to the relevant level to live\nThe government should guarantee all the medical expenses of older persons as the major expenditure of Korean older people are spending their money on health care\nExpansion of the coverage of medical insurance can deliver greater benefits than increasing incomes of older persons\n\n \nLastly\, Mr. Porter kindly asked to members of Older People’s Self-Help Group who were participated at the event\, and said to the audiences “You will become older someday like these amazing ladies.
