Meaning
This points to care for older people as a public duty, not a side issue. It can be read as a call to keep attention, resources, and respect focused on seniors, especially when policy debates tend to move on to newer problems. It lands in discussions about healthcare, housing, or family support, where older adults can be overlooked unless someone insists they remain central.
