Aging “Escape Room” Designed to Grow Awareness and Empathy
With healthier habits and better healthcare, many people now live well into their 80s and 90s. In fact, the percentage of people over 60 is expected to grow to 32% in the most developed nations by 2050. (Up from 2006 numbers of 17% in North America and 23% in Western Europe). But our fast-paced, high-energy, youth-oriented culture doesn’t give much consideration to aging citizens.
