Description
Friska Indria Nora Harahap and colleagues built and tested a model that treats older people as active partners in their own welfare, not passive recipients of aid. Welfare here spans physical health, mood, social participation, and economic security. Their 2026 mixed-methods study followed 210 older participants in community-based empowerment programs, pairing welfare scores with interviews about how empowerment actually worked.
Average welfare scores rose from 3.12 to 3.89 after the program, a statistically strong gain, though the design cannot prove the program caused it. Interviews suggested that participation, voice, and community roles fed the improvement. The authors present the model as a practical alternative to assistance-only welfare for ageing societies, especially in developing contexts.
