Ageing in the Twenty-First Century : A Celebration and A Challenge is a landmark publication from the United Nations Population Fund and HelpAge International. It represents a collaboration of over 20 United Nations entities and major international organizations working in the field of ageing and reviews policies and action taken by governments and other stakeholders since the Second World Assembly on Ageing in 2002. In addition to providing many inspiring examples of innovative programs that address population ageing and the concerns of older persons, the report captures the voices of some 1300 older persons themselves.
The report concludes with ten priority areas for maximising the opportunity of ageing populations, including the need to recognise the inevitability of ageing populations and to ensure all stakeholders are adequately prepared for the growing number of older persons.
