housing accessibility (including technical devices, ICT) (concrete architectural tools, that are designed to improve housing accessibility for the elderly - adaptations that range from small repairs to universal schemes);
housing affordability (innovative financial (supply side or demand side) tools, that make housing for the elderly more financially affordable);
social and health care (key question: to what extent is social and health care institutionalized and what assistance is there for the elderly who decide to live in their own home?);
access to information/education (to what extent are the elderly informed about opportunities/services open to them and the barriers that hinder access to them).
