520 _aFunded by The Selwyn Foundation, this research report provides rich information on ageing Asians in Auckland Tamaki Makaurau. There has been no major substantive work in this area, despite much research on ageing in general in Aotearoa. The findings from this research focus on the joys and vulnerabilities of this cohort of ageing Asians and can be framed under the broad concept of Belonging. Who belongs? Who decides who belongs? Professor Edwina Pio who received an ONZM for her service to ethnic communities, encourages us to frame ageing Asians as economic enablers, beyond deficit models. As an independent researcher, she highlights the wellbeing domains which ageing Asians enjoy in Auckland, but also paints a picture of elder abuse which remains largely invisible. The report seeks to embolden policy makers and those working in the aged care sector to craft a well-resourced ethnic strategy, reduce fragmented funding, create connectors and incentivise organisations which employ seniors. With the exponential growth of diverse communities in Auckland, and ageing realities, we must travel together wisely by invoking the language of our collective humanity, beyond neutral positions, policy lurches and awkward embraces.
