A reality and the future of the consumer education to the elderly and with slight dementia

Abstract

We have researched the reality and the future of the consumer education to the elderly as well as elderly with slight dementia supported by the Grant of Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology [MET]. We executed the questionnaire investigation and the evaluation for the experiments. We report in this paper about those contents, the results of the mail survey and the future way of advancing our plan. The mail survey shows that (a) social welfare facilities will be short, therefore a consumption education for the elderly will be needed, and also (b) we should enrich the nursing care of the society and increase the number of people talented for welfare and nursing care.
