| Annotation | Older age policy initiatives that have had a bearing on countries in Southeast Asia and the work of UN-ESCAP are summarised: the World Health Assemblies in Vienna (1982) and Madrid (2002); the Macao Declaration and Plan of Action on Ageing for Asia and the Pacific (1998); and the International Year of Older Persons (1999). Some of the general, social and economic implications of rapid population ageing in countries represented by ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are discussed. Finally, there is a brief introduction to the World Health Organization's 2005 WHO Guidance on Health Programme. (RH). |
