Annotation"The ageing and development report" is the first extensive survey of the roles and needs of older people in developing countries. The report examines the major social and economic implications of the rapid growth in numbers of older people in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and eastern and central Europe. It covers the impact on economics, health systems, housing, working patterns and family relationships. The report draws on HelpAge International's 20 years of experience in more than 60 countries, to examine key themes including community involvement, family life, health and well-being, poverty and exclusion, gender, migration and economic security. This summary outlines the main report's contents, and focuses on some of the themes developed. (RH).
