中文摘要 近年來因醫療進步與城市發展,各國人口逐漸老化,台灣亦不例外。老人為社會經濟較弱勢之團體,其所需要之協助涵蓋醫療、經濟、社會、文化、就業等層面,特別在因地理交通、文化差異及經濟困境影響下,此種又老又窮的情況較都市化程度高的地區更為嚴重。因此隨高齡化而來的問題,將牽動整個社會體系,此問題的嚴重性使2005年美國總統生物倫理委員會(The President’s Council on Bioethics)與2010年總統馬英九不約而同將日趨嚴重的人口老化視為新的社會挑戰,進而將人口議題提升至國家安全層次。
然長期以來,此類社會議題大多期望透過政府力量、輔以市場機制為解決方法,但面對全球化快速、治理體系與行為者網絡複雜化影響下,此一問題已非依賴單一政府或部門所能提供或解決,而須依靠跨部門治理(cross-sector governance),整合政府、企業與非營利組織(nonprofit organization)資源,共同承擔責任,避免在有限資源下,公共資源的重複投入而形成的浪費。有鑑於此,本研究以老人福利為主題,以跨部門治理觀點為基礎,初步探析跨部門治理等相關概念運用於老人福利之現況與可行性,期能提供台灣現階段老人福利解決方案之參考。
