With its rapidly growing older population, Bermuda faces a demographic challenge. Bermuda also faces declining fertility rates and full employment, with 80 percent of women in the labour force, which will significantly reduce the number, availability and capacity of family caregivers. This article looks at one component of a needs assessment which was a first step to guide future planning and resource allocation for an improved service system for the aging population of Bermuda.
