| Annotation | The research project, the Older Generation and the European Information Society: Access to the Information Society (AOP-IS), is financed by the European Commission's Information Society Project Office (ISPO) and the Dutch VSB Fund. It covers information and communications technology (ICT) in six EU Member States - Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK. This second report has been compiled based on the findings of these countries, in addition to reports on European Union and US policy. The report outlines EU and US policy and legislation; describes legislation, government policy and initiatives in the six countries; examines the initiatives and influence on policy of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and local government; and presents the approach taken by industry regarding older people in Europe and the US. The main findings of the two project reports will be the basis of the final project report in July 1999, which will contain the project conclusions, make recommendations for policy and practical initiatives in the area of older people in ICT, and give examples of best practice.
