| Annotation | Launched at the United Nations Second World Assembly in Madrid in April 2002, this report brings together research, statistics and older people's views to provide new insights into ageing. Data on the world's older people by region indicate the scale of demographic change and of continuing poverty in the poorest regions. The report identifies three priorities for policy and action on ageing: equal rights for older citizens; a fair share of national and international resources; and inclusion in decision-making and in civil society. If supported, older people can continue to contribute to their families and participate in their communities. (RH). |
