It was a good book for its time—but time has moved on. And the gap between that relatively sunny take and Reich’s latest, *Saving Capitalism*, is itself an indicator of the unpleasant ways America has changed./.../

The millennium development goals have targeted eight key areas – poverty,education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, disease, theenvironment and global partnership. Each goal is supported by 21 specific targets and more than 60 indicators. Below, we’ve looked at what has been achieved on some of the targets within each goal.

MDG 1: The number of people living on less than $1.25 a day has been reduced from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 836 million in 2015, although the target of halving the proportion of people suffering from hunger was narrowly missed.

MDG 2: Primary school enrolment figures have shown an impressive rise, but the goal of achieving universal primary education has just been missed, with the net enrolment rate increasing from 83% in 2000 to 91% this year.

MDG 3: About two-thirds of developing countries have achieved gender parity in primary education.

MDG 4: The child mortality rate has reduced by more than half over the past 25 years – falling from 90 to 43 deaths per 1,000 live births – but it has failed to meet the MDG target of a drop of two-thirds.

MDG 5: The global maternal mortality ratio has fallen by nearly half – short of the two-thirds reduction the MDGs aimed for.

MDG 6: The target of halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIV/Aids by 2015 has not been met, although the number of new HIV infections fell by around 40% between 2000 and 2013.

MDG 7: Some 2.6 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water since 1990, so the target of halving the proportion of people without access to improved sources of water was achieved in 2010 – five years ahead of schedule. However, 663 million people across the world still do not have access to improved drinking water.

MDG 8: Between 2000 and 2014, overseas development assistance from rich nations to developing countries increased by 66% in real terms, and in 2013 reached the record figure of $134.8bn (£80.3bn).

Japan is the frontrunner of aging societies in terms of longevity and the proportion of the elderly in the population. In 2030, one-third of the population will be older than age 65, and 20% will be older than 75 years. Moreover, 75-year-old seniors in Japan are as physically healthy as those a decade younger, according to a recent government survey. If Japan is to deal effectively with the highly aged society of the future, and benefit from this growing sector of its society, it must come up with a new socially inclusive system for people living into their nineties or more.

Currently, Japan treats the period after retirement at age 65 as the “sunset years” of one's life, effectively discouraging even healthy retirees from working. This situation challenges Japan's social security system and the national economy. In 1965, 9.1 persons could support one senior citizen in the social security system. This dependency ratio is now 2.4 persons to one senior, and should decrease to 1.3 to one in 2050. Social security benefits will exceed 100 trillion yen in 2030. With 15% of the work force expected to be lost by then, meeting this need will be a problem. The good news is that according to a government survey, over 80% of seniors would like to work after retirement and contribute to the economy rather than be a recipient of government assistance.

Putting these considerations together, an expansion of job opportunities for seniors is essential if Japanese society is to enhance the labor force, social security finance, and economic development. There are workable strategies to address these challenges. Currently, 80% of Japanese are expected to be healthy until their mid-70s and want to contribute to society. Thus, maintaining a healthy life span for this population is essential not only for supplementing the shrinking labor force, but for containing health care costs and bolstering the consumer market with active seniors.

“The next generation of elderly will be healthier and better educated.”

To achieve this healthy life span, maintaining senior quality of life is crucial. New living environments are needed that will allow seniors to “age in place” while nurturing good physical, mental, and social habits that could delay, or even avert, the onset of declining conditions such as frailty and dementia. Lifelong learning will allow seniors not only to maintain their overall well-being, but to integrate into a working society. Here, universities should expand programs that help seniors to improve skills, gain new knowledge, and nurture new interests. Japan also must accommodate a diversity of health and lifestyle issues of the senior community by providing a variety of workplaces and work styles. Employers can capitalize on an individual's strengths while compensating for weaknesses. Innovative approaches can be devised for the work-sharing of abilities as well as of time. Advances in information technology and robotic technology can address an employer's concerns about safety and productivity that hamper employment of older workers. For example, telecommuting and biomechanical assistive technology (such as a “smart suit” for manual labor) would not only improve the work environment for senior workers, but lead to healthy and enjoyable work places for workers of all ages. A new government project in Kashiwa City, in cooperation with Tokyo University, is an experimental community designed to support a long-lived society in these ways, and its social infrastructure could serve as a model for other community projects.

The current employment system and senior life environment in Japan are built on an obsolete model of life span. Today, someone celebrating a 65th birthday can expect about 20 years of a “second life” ahead. The next generation of elderly will be healthier and better educated. Given the right platform, they can continue to be active contributors to society well into their golden age.

NATIVOS DIGITAIS, MILLENNIALS, eLEARNING , PEDAGOGIA DIGITAL e a WEB 4.0

Reginaldo Albuquerque, Laura Gris Mota, Luis Carlos Lobo, Andrea Andres

Resumo - Os novos alunos já nasceram usando a web como forma de conexão, comunicação e troca de conhecimento. Os processos e meios de ensino precisam, portanto, acompanhar as tendências de forma a oferecer aos aprendizes digitais oportunidades que despertem interesse e atenção. Assim, entender os conceitos da web 4.0 - o ambiente natural da netgeneration - e adaptá-los às ofertas de ensino, notadamente ao ensino à distância, se faz necessário.

Esse relato de experiência pretende apresentar o processo de desenho do curso Atenção ao Cuidado da Saúde da Pessoa Idosa, da Universidade Aberta do Sistema Único de Saúde (UNA-SUS), baseado no olhar do novo aluno, nos conceitos e teorias da web 4.0 e no conectivismo.  Essa é a primeira experiência da UNA-SUS na montagem de um curso fora de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem e adaptado à linguagem digital. 

Abstract - New students use the web as a way of connection, communication and knowledge sharing since they were born. Therefore, processes and educational facilities need to adapt these trends to offer digital learners opportunities to awake interest and attention. It is necessary to understand the concepts of Web 4.0 -  netgeneration's natural environment - and adapt education, particularly e-learning. This paper intends to present design process of Health Care of Elderly course, created by Open University of National Health System (UNA-SUS). This process was based on concepts and theories of web 4.0, conectivism, and new student's perspective .This is the first experience of the UNA-SUS to create a course out of a virtual learning environment and adapted to the digital language.

Resumen - Los nuevos alumnos nacieron utilizando la web como una forma de conexión, comunicación e intercambio de conocimiento. Los procesos y medios de educación necesitan, por consiguiente, seguir las tendencias de manera a ofrecer a los aprendices digitales oportunidades que despierten interés y atención. De esa forma, es necesario entender los conceptos de la web 4.0 – el ambiente natural denetgeneration – y adaptarlos a las ofertas de educación, en particular, de educación a distancia. 

El presente relato de experiencia pretende presentar el proceso de diseño del curso Atención al Cuidado de la Salud de la Persona de la Tercera Edad, de la Universidad Abierta del Sistema Único de Salud (UNA-SUS), basado en la perspectiva del nuevo alumno, en los conceptos y teorías de la web 4.0 y en el conectivismo. Esta es la primera experiencia de la UNA-SUS en el montaje de un curso fuera de un ambiente virtual de aprendizaje y adaptado a la lenguaje digital.
