Certificate Age Governance: Children, Youth and Elderly

Description of the course

The demand for skills in the areas of children, youth and the elderly is increasing. The number of people over 65 in France represents almost 20% of the population with an increase of almost 4 points in 20 years. Until 2035, the proportion of people over 60 is expected to increase further, given the ageing of the baby-boom generations. Young people and especially children, also a vulnerable population, need to be cared for by professionals who can answer specific questions and deal with a changing regulatory framework.
