| Annotation | General Assembly Resolutions 46/91 and 46/94 (16 December 1991), and 45/106 (14 December 1990) called for a set of global targets on ageing for 2001. This report has been prepared in response. There are eight global targets: support countries in setting national targets on ageing; generate support for integrating ageing into national and international development plans and programmes; operate support for community-based programmes of care and participation of older persons; improve cross-national research on ageing, including harmonisation of terminology and methodology; include an item on ageing in international events and meetings of relevance; establish a global network of senior volunteers for social and economic development; facilitate closer co-operation among non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on ageing; and facilitate closer co-operation among intergovernmental organisations on ageing. National targets are suggested on: health and nutrition; housing and living environments; the family; education and media; social welfare; and employment and income security. (RH). |
