Published in : 1999 Available in : English It is projected that in 20 years there will be twice as many older people in the world, and 70% will live in developing countries. A radical change in our perception is needed: older people are not "burdens" or "problems" needing charity, but rather carers of children, advisers, teachers, guardians of culture, and volunteers for numerous community projects. We must combat ageism and put a human face on policies and institutions affecting our older population. Documents : SCN News No 19 (PDF, 1.45Mb) Originally posted at : UNSCN - Publications |
