Women’s Perspective on Aging

In April 2023, the Well & Wealthy Woman community participated in a research. The community members responded to a survey in which we asked women of age 45 and above the following questions:

  • What do you think about aging?
  • What challenges are you having with aging?
  • What do you think about other aging women?
  • What do you believe is God’s intention concerning aging?
  • What is your opinion of how the government can help?

To make it easier for our respondents, we gave them options to choose from on what they think about aging: good, bad, scary, depressing, exciting or fulfilling.

Here’s the summary of what our respondents had to say about aging:

  • 37% said aging is scary.
  • 47% said God intended for aging to be a good experience.
  • 26% believe aging was never in God’s agenda for us.
  • 79% believe the government has a role to play for the aging population.
  • 63% think aging is good, exciting or fulfilling.
  • 80% are having challenges with aging.

What about you? What’s your perspective on aging?
