Abstract—Aging population structures have become a global
development trend. In Taiwan, the progressive aging of the
population has resulted in the emergence of new industrial
dimensions and issues. According to the 2011 statistics
announced by the Department of Household Registration, there
were approximately 2.6 million citizens over the age of 65 by the
end of 2011. In Taiwan’s aging society structure, senior citizens
demonstrate greater self-perseverance, and successively
participate in community lifelong learning based on their
personal intentions to achieve the goals of self-satisfaction and
life fulfillment.
Index Terms—Senior, elderly learning, learning needs.
