| Annotation | Poverty is the main threat facing older people worldwide. In developing countries, where older populations are growing fastest, older people are consistently and disproportionately among the poorest of the poor. HelpAge International (HAI) believes that tackling poverty among older people is both an issue of basic human rights and a critical next step in the fight to reduce global poverty. This paper summarises HAI's position, and outlines its agenda for action. (RH). |
