Taiwan's aging society presents a significant challenge for the "壯年世代" (middle-aged, mature and senior generation), as current welfare policies, focused on medical and long-term care, often fail to address their profound psychological and social needs for meaning, purpose, and connection, leading to feelings of loneliness. To address this, Israel's Kibbutz (基布兹) offers a compelling model for a "community of happiness", embodying Adlerian psychology's three elements of happiness: task separation, trusting others, and contributing oneself. This structure empowers individuals to maintain a sense of value and identity by actively participating, countering the emptiness often associated with traditional retirement. Taiwan Israel Chamber of Commerce is actively promoting this Kibbutz spirit as an inspiration for a localized co-living solution in Taiwan, aiming to redefine aging by empowering seniors as active agents of self-realization.
