| Annotation | By 2025, is is estimated that more than 72% of the world's over 60s will be living in developing countries. This article lists some of the issues and areas of action for planning older people's income security. Policies drawing on international developments should consider: work and employment options after retirement; financial support from various sources; social and economic support for those without family support; healthcare and health services; and housing to suit older people's special needs. The state, with active assistance and participation of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), should be responsible for implementing such plans and policies. (RH). |
