人口結構老化現象，無論是已開發國家或開發中國家，儼然成為世界一致的發展趨勢。台灣人口結構主要呈現少子化及高齡化兩種現象，根據世界人口綜述的計算，在全球200個國家中，台灣排名在最後。家庭結構的變遷，傳統的大家庭已逐漸轉型成核心式的家庭照顧方式，家庭裡可提供年長的照顧功能逐漸減少。家庭所能負擔及提供的照顧功能日漸減少，使在居家安養或是養老之想法難以實現。高齡者對於晚年所喜歡的生活模式，是希望有像在家的舒適感，同時喜歡被關心，有陪伴的感覺。於政府與民間所提供的高齡課程方面，本研究擇定中部A大學所提供的樂齡相關課程與活動為研究個案。教育部為推動國內老人創新多元化學習活動，及鼓勵大學發揮社會責任，促使學校師資及各項資源能持續發揮其功用，藉此開拓高齡學習市場，有助於提升各大學知名度與聲望。大學資源豐富，提供高齡者多元且專業的知識，有別於社區式的高齡學習。
