博茨瓦纳养老金的提高有助于老年人,但缺乏老年护理政策使照顾者和老年人变得脆弱。 Botswana’s pension boost helps seniors, but lack of elder care policy leaves caregivers and the elderly vulnerable.

博茨瓦纳2025年养老金月薪提高至1400比索，被赞誉为老年人的重要进步，但一项新研究显示，这并未解决日益严重的老年护理危机。 Botswana’s 2025 pension increase to P1,400 monthly was praised as a major step for elderly citizens, but a new study reveals it does not address the growing crisis in elder care. 尽管家庭照顾者——主要是成年女儿——受到推动,但由于贫穷、气候变化、艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响以及缺乏正式的支助系统,家庭照顾者——主要是成年女儿——面对越来越大的压力。 Despite the boost, family caregivers—mostly adult daughters—face mounting pressures due to poverty, climate change, HIV/AIDS impacts, and a lack of formal support systems. 由于没有国家老年人护理政策,各部委的职责分散,许多老年人,包括残疾老年人,无法获得基本服务。 With no national elder care policy and fragmented responsibilities across ministries, many older adults, including those with disabilities, lack access to essential services. 研究强调,如果不扩大家庭护理、提供临时选择和加强保健基础设施,单靠财政援助无法可持续地满足博茨瓦纳老龄人口的需要。 The research emphasizes that without expanded home-based care, respite options, and stronger health infrastructure, financial aid alone cannot sustainably meet the needs of Botswana’s aging population.
