On 12 August 2015, a seminar was organised jointly by Sir William Beveridge Foundation and Ageing Support Forum of Bangladesh to discuss the findings of the research on the subject of “Socio-economic Empowerment of Rural Elders and Dementia” at the main seminar hall of the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS). The research was conducted with the participation of over 1000 elders in the area of Kulla Union of Dhamrai sub-district of Dhaka division. It was discovered that the number of elderly dementia sufferers was lower in the villages in comparison to city areas. Elders living in village areas are generally found to be more physically active. It was also found that the daughters-in-law of the families act as the main caregivers. If economic security could be sustained for these groups of elders, they could remain in better condition physically compared to urban elders. Mr Kazi Rezaul Haque – Full-time member of the Human Rights Commission of Bangladesh, acted as the Chief Guest at the seminar. It was attended by Rahman Jilani Ph.D, Founder and Executive Director of Sir William Beveridge Foundation, Frank J Schaper – a fellow of the Queensland University of Australia, Professor Dr A S M Atiqur Rahman of the University of Dhaka, Francis Wong- Regional Director of World Alzheimer’s International, the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka. The delegates also included over 100 individuals from various backgrounds in Gerontology, Health Professionals, Journalists and other News media professionals and representatives from various NGOs of the country. The occasion was conducted by Major General (retd) Jiban Kanai Das – Country Director of Sir William Beveridge Foundation. The entire findings of the research have been presented by Dr Masud Ibn Rahman- Secretary of the Ageing Support Forum.
