Migranten en vergrijzing: ‘Te Nederlandse termen schrikken af’
Nederland verkleurt én vergrijst. Uit recent onderzoek blijkt bovendien dat oudere migranten een drie tot vier keer grotere kans op dementie hebben dan ouderen van Nederlandse origine. De gastarbeiders van toen zijn nu oud en hulpbehoevend. Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat ze de hulp krijgen die ze nodig hebben?
In response to “Migranten en vergrijzing: ‘Te Nederlandse termen schrikken af’”, I do hope that the author goes on to offer an analysis of why foreign workers suffer significantly more from Dementia. Were they diagnosed with it when they arrived or were there environmental factor after their arrival that helped bring on this condition? Did the type of work that they did contribute to it, or their living conditions, or lack of acceptance, etc.
For those who cannot afford to read the entire article, the title appears to imply that Dutch individuals are naturally for whatever reason to be less susceptible to Dementia. If that is not what the author’s intent was, perhaps, a less misleading title could be selected.
M.v.g.
Ik ben trotz één Nederlander te zyn!
Niet alleen de zorg voor mensen met dementie wordt steeds intensiever, ook de ondersteuning voor naasten, de mantelzorg en vrijwilligerswerk maken dementie tot een indringend thema in het sociaal domein.
