| Annotation | There are currently 868m older people in the world; by 2050 this will have reached more than 2bn. Older people are vulnerable - but they are also incredibly valuable. The success of the world's future development depends on how we respond to ageing. This report is a compilation of 21 articles reflecting the views from 25 thought leaders, development experts and academics to discuss the impact of an ageing world on international development. The articles are arranged in four sections which focus on: challenging preconceptions about ageing; understanding health and care needs; recognising that ageing is about more than older people; and taking action. A summary report (32 pp) is also available (http://www.ageinternational.org.uk/Documents/Exec%... (RH). |
