Federation for the Welfare  of Taiwan's  Seniors

About Us

The Federation for the Welfare of Taiwan's Seniors advocates for older adults, working with professionals, government agencies, and industries to create age-friendly, high-quality services. As a policy-driven platform, we promote senior welfare and rights. Taiwan will become a super-aged society in 2025, with 7.66 million seniors projected by 2050. Looking ahead, we will collaborate with experts to advance senior rights and promote age equality. We propose renaming the Senior Citizens Welfare Act to the Senior Rights Protection Act to better reflect this mission. Our work focuses on five key areas: Personal Rights & Adaptation, Physical Health & Well-being, Peacefulness & Equity, Pleasantness & Diversity, and Protection & Inclusion. We call on society to uphold seniors' rights and quality of life. Through our vision, "Senior's Happiness 5 Steps & Advancing Age Equality," we strive to create a more inclusive aging society.

Origin

At the end of 1993, Taiwan's senior population aged 65 or older exceeded 7% of the total population. Associety ages rapidly, the care of the senior citizens-who have dedicated their prime years and efforts to the society-has come into focus. How to provide them with respect and well-being in their later years, inevitably, emerges as a crucial issue in contemporary Taiwanese society.
