| Annotation | This edition of The Journal focuses on the economic crisis and its impact on older people globally. In many countries, older people in many countries are the most susceptible to the economic fluctuations and uncertainties that follow. Within the United States, retirement savings accounts have lost an estimated four trillion dollars in value since July 2007. At the same time, higher unemployment makes it more difficult for older workers to keep existing jobs or find and compete for new ones. This economic crisis also highlights one of the greatest vulnerabilities for older people - access to affordable, quality health care. Feature articles have been written by leading experts in their field from around the world, on various aspects of the repercussions of this economic crisis on health, employment, and lifelong learning opportunities for older people. This edition also features proceedings from two major AARP programmes inn 2009: Reinventing retirement Asia: employment active engagement beyond 50; and the 2009 AARP-UN briefing series on global ageing.
