| Annotation | Since the first World Assembly on Ageing in 1982, limited progress has been made in improving the lives of the majority of older people in developing countries. This booklet gives voice to poor older people from twelve countries in the Asia-Pacific area. In four sections it explains their concerns; describes their contribution; suggests some recommendations for action; and summarises the case for their inclusion in the development and implementation of policies and programmes. The booklet was produced as part of the Action on Ageing campaign, which aims to build on progress begun with the first World Assembly on Ageing. (KJ/RH). |
