Universal design is about making products, services and environments usable by as large a part of the population as possible. Difficulties in day to day work and life can come from the effects of old age, physical disability or environment. As economies and personal wealth grow, global age distribution has shifted towards an older population, though a population still needing or wanting to remain as active members of the workforce and society.
As Singapore’s National Design Centre for Ageing, >60 Design Centre looks to address the increasing challenges of an ageing population through Universal Design, with the added benefit of overlapping the requirements of other needy groups. Universal Design can be used to optimize product and process of businesses to best meet the changing needs and wants of their ageing customers. This is a growing issue that can not be ignored by businesses wanting to remain competitive in the changing global economy. |
