Making older persons visible in the sustainable development goals’ monitoring framework and indicators

4 March 2024 / Reports
In 2015, the world reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development by endorsing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SDGs (2030 Agenda). To reach older people – an important, heterogeneous and growing population – and to create visibility in global and national policy and accountability mechanisms, a closer examination is needed of the kinds of data collection mechanisms and methods, and types of data collected to measure each SDG indicator relevant for older persons, including existing levels of disaggregation, analysis and dissemination. This WHO report is co-sponsored by the United Kingdom Office of National Statistics and the Ghana Statistical Service and reflects one of the major outputs for the Titchfield City Group on Ageing and Age-disaggregated Data Conceptual and Analytical Working Group. The report provides concrete examples of indicators and learnings from 20 National Statistics Offices (NSOs) on SDG indicators relevant for older people that are already being collected. Shared experiences from NSOs around the world demonstrate that disaggregation of data is possible, and that this information is useful to indicate the diverse experiences of older persons. More

The State of Ageing in Greater Manchester 2024

29 February 2024 / Reports
This report is a collation of the most relevant and contemporary data and evidence on ageing in Greater Manchester (GM) available in the second half of 2023. It is intended to inform those working in policy, service delivery, and communities across the city region on the challenges and opportunities experienced by people in mid and later life now and in the future. Wherever possible, we have used sources that relate specifically to GM residents, referencing sources only available for the North, England, or the UK where we are confident that the findings are relevant to our population. The State of Ageing in Greater Manchester provides the evidence base for the Combined Authority’s refreshed Age-friendly Strategy, which sets out what needs to happen over the next decade to make GM the best city region to grow old. While recognising the importance of all of the determinants of good ageing environments as set out in the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) age-friendly domains, we have collated the evidence under three of the GM Ageing Hub’s key themes – Economy, Work and Money; Places; Ageing Well; with the addition of a smaller section covering the cross-cutting theme of Digital Inclusion. The Strategy will have a further theme – Working Together – which articulates how we intend to grow the ageing ecosystem and how a collaboration between partners in the public, private, voluntary and community sectors can maximise the impact our work has on transforming people’s lives.

Final Report: UNITAR's Mainstreaming Knowledge on Ageing virtual roundtable series 2023

15 January 2024 / Reports
This report sums up the learning outcomes of UNITAR's Mainstreaming Knowledge on Ageing virtual roundtable series, run in 2023 as the second round. This round took the theme of 'Bridging paths towards strengthening protection and participation', with an emphasis on the notion that accessibility should not only be associated to persons with disabilities but with a wide spectrum of barriers that can affect different generations while ageing. The virtual roundtable series is a contribution to the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing, and was developed in collaboration with the International Training Centers -CIFAL Global Network-, UNDESA, UNFPA, IOM, UN Women, UNHCR, WHO, OHCHR, ITU, ILO, the Group of Friends of the Human Rights of Older Persons UN Geneva; the Global Initiative on Ageing Foundation, GIA; the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse; the International Longevity Centre; the NGO Committee on Ageing Geneva; and the Harvard Law School Project on Disability.

Longevity Economy Principles: The Foundation for a Financially Resilient Future

15 January 2024 / Reports
This report, developed by a consortium of leaders from finance, health, academia and government, offers a strategic approach to the challenges and opportunities of an ageing global population. It proposes principles aimed at ensuring the financial resilience of all generations amid diverse national systems and goals like financial security and healthy living. By 2050, the global population aged above 60 is projected to more than double from 1 billion in 2020 to 2.1 billion, underscoring the urgent need for strategic approaches to ageing. The report tackles sensitive issues such as ageism, gender pension gaps and socioeconomic disparities in retirement savings. Emphasizing the need for difficult discussions about mortality and finance, it calls for a unified language and clear direction. The report also advocates for a holistic approach that balances health, financial stability and social considerations, and underscores the importance of collaborative, multistakeholder engagement focused on individual needs. The aim is to build sustainable, resilient solutions for the rapidly ageing global demographic. More

Voice and meaningful engagement in the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing: A discussion paper

10 December 2023 / Other
This discussion paper aims to operationalise the concept of 'voice and meaningful engagement' in the context of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing, as well as outline some possible opportunities for integrating such an approach across all of the action areas of the UN Decade. Voice and meaningful engagement is one of the enablers of the UN Decade and key towards ensuring that older people are at the centre of all that we do to transform the world to be a better place to grow older. This paper is a starting point rather than a definitive document, and all feedback to improve it is welcome. More

Age & Ageing Special Issue – Measurements of Healthy Ageing: Measuring what matters to older persons

30 October 2023 / Peer-reviewed Articles
WHO, in collaboration with Age and Ageing, the journal of the British Geriatrics Society, has released a Special Issue on Measurements of Healthy Ageing. This Special Issue brings together the work of international professionals and experts from over 40 academic institutions to identify the best available tools to measure what truly matters to older people – their intrinsic capacity and functional ability. The global demographic shift towards an ageing population – where the number of individuals aged over 60 is expected to double by 2050, reaching nearly 2.1 billion – presents unique challenges and opportunities. Although people are living longer, the average length of time someone can expect to live in good health has not improved in many countries. This means more people are spending their older years in poor health or with disabilities. The collection of articles in this issue addresses the growing need for greater knowledge and understanding about healthy ageing. The biggest challenge in measuring healthy ageing is a lack of consistency across data, stemming from the wide range of ways to collect and analyse data. In response, the Special Issue aims to help ensure measurement concepts are clearly defined and offer a route to greater harmonization of measurement approaches. More

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on intergenerational solidarity

12 August 2022 / Videos
In this video statement marking International Youth Day 2022: Intergenerational Solidarity - Creating a World for All Ages, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres speaks about the power of partnerships across generations. "We need people of all ages, young and old alike, to join forces to build a better world for all. Too often, ageism, bias and discrimination prevent this essential collaboration. When young people are shut out of the decisions being made about their lives, or when older people are denied a chance to be heard, we all lose." More

Webinar - International Youth Day 2022 - Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating A World for All Ages

12 August 2022 / Videos
To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world needs to leverage the full potential of all generations. Solidarity across generations is key for sustainable development. We must collaborate to foster successful and equitable intergenerational relations and partnerships to ensure “no one is left behind.” While intergenerational solidarity and concern for future generations is being called for in tackling global issues – with the UN Secretary-General recently putting forward new recommendations on renewed intergenerational solidarity, including in Our Common Agenda – many challenges remain. Ageism continues to present a significant – yet, not sufficiently discussed – challenge to fostering collaboration and solidarity across age groups. The World Health Organization defines ageism as “the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) directed towards others or oneself, based on age”. Ageism is an insidious and often an unaddressed issue in health, human rights and development, and has bearings on both older and younger populations around the world. In addition, ageism regularly intersects with other forms of bias (such as racism and sexism) and impacts people in ways that prevent them to reach their full potential and comprehensively contribute to their community. For International Youth Day 2022, UN DESA worked with the Major Group on Children and Youth (MGCY) to organize a global webinar for its official commemoration. The webinar features an exchange of views on the topic of intergenerational solidarity, intergenerational equity, future generations, and ageism. More

This Resource Library supports the Advisory by outlining recommendations and useful resources to support different stakeholder groups in the United States implement the Framework for a National Strategy to Advance Social Connection. Individuals and organizations can use this framework to address the public health problem of social disconnection and strengthen social connection. The recommendations and resources outlined in this Resource Library can also help stakeholders around the world combat loneliness and promote social connection in their own contexts. More

Age, Sex and You

25 October 2021
A programme of work at the University of Sheffield supports and promotes the sexual rights of older adults, part of which involves providing reliable information about sexual health and sexual well-being as we get older. Through research, older adults consistently highlight the lack of available information on sexual issues for the over 50s. The website Age, Sex and You has been designed to meet these needs. It provides general information, all in one place, about the sexual changes that can occur with older age. It can be difficult to talk about sex because it is a private topic, and sexual health campaigns rarely include older adults. As a result, there is a silence around the sexual issues as we get older and a need to improve sexual health awareness in this area. Age, Sex and You is a public health website that is free to use. It aims to support healthy sexual ageing for the millions of older adults to whom sex and intimacy are important. More

The Old School Anti-Ageism Clearing House

1 October 2021
Old School is a clearinghouse of free and carefully vetted resources to educate people about ageism and help dismantle it. The site contains blogs, books, articles, videos, speakers, and other tools (workshops, handouts, curricula etc.) that are accessible to the general public. The goal of the Old School Clearinghouse is to inform and help catalyze a movement to make ageism as unacceptable as any other kind of prejudice. We created it because movements need tools, best practices, and ways to share them. To that end, and because this work can be hard and lonely, in 2021 we began hosting quarterly, virtual Movement-Builders Convenings for people who identify as pro-aging/ anti-ageism advocates. A related Google Group enables participants to learn more about and support each other's work. More

UNECE Active Ageing Index

7 September 2021
Active ageing is a multidimensional concept referring to a situation where people continue to participate in the formal labour market, engage in unpaid productive activities (such as care provision to family members and volunteering), and live healthy, independent and secure lives as they age. Active ageing policies thus need to address this variety of dimensions: enable possibilities for longer working life, ensure social involvement, encourage healthy lifestyles, and provide opportunities for independent living for both men and women. Monitoring such policy implementation requires a comprehensive tool that encompasses the multitude of aspects of active ageing. The Active Ageing Index (AAI) is such a tool. It captures various facets of active ageing: it measures how much of older men and women’s potential to contribute to the economy and society is used and to what extent their living environment enables them. They contribute by working, volunteering, providing informal care, living independently, and staying healthy. AAI offers a flexible framework that can be applied to different countries and at national as well as subnational (regional and local) levels. It depicts the current situation and highlights the areas where future gains can be made. A country might have high results in one domain, for example employment, with relatively low results in another one, such as independent living. This signals that matters enabling independent living need particular attention. More

Age Without Limits

13 January 2024
Age Without Limits is a new campaign from Ageing Better (UK). Launched in January 2024, The Age Without Limits campaign aims to change the way we all think about ageing and support a growing movement of people and organisations working to make society more age-inclusive. Ageism is the prejudice that’s hidden in plain sight. It’s embedded in our society and even accepted as normal by those of us who are older. We see and hear casual ageism every day in the media, on TV, at work, in pubs, on social media, in family conversations. It doesn’t have to be this way. Thinking negatively about ageing and older people has been accepted and ignored for too long. More

#OlderNotOver

28 September 2023
#OlderNotOver is HelpAge International's three-year campaign that will champion a fuller, more authentic portrayal of what life really looks like after 60, from America to Zimbabwe. We’re calling on every member in the global HelpAge network to help change how the world sees and treats older people. But you don’t have to be a member of the global network to get involved. If you want to grow older in a world that doesn’t demonise and penalise people once they get to 60, we’d love to have you on board. Together, we can create a powerful movement that truly champions older age in all its glory. More

ILC-UK Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index

23 May 2023
Investing in people’s health is vital for everyone’s wellbeing and to ensure that we can truly benefit from the “longevity dividend” that could result from an ageing population. Yet we know that across the globe, action and investment in healthy ageing and preventative health continues to lag. This is where the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index comes in. It ranks 121 countries against six indicators: life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. This allows us to compare how sustainable different countries are, both in terms of longer lives and the extent to which their governments are investing in efforts to prevent ill health and support healthy ageing. We know prevention is better than cure. We know what works. Now we need to see action. More

Global Coalition on Aging Bone Health Initiative

27 January 2023
The Global Coalition on Aging Bone Health Initiative was convened in 2022 to address the importance of bone health on the global public health agenda. Experts project that half a billion people will soon be living with osteoporosis, which weakens their bones and increases the risk of fragility fractures – fractures that occur because of weaker bones. Every 3 seconds, an older adult suffers a fracture, resulting in an estimated 9 million fractures globally every year. Approximately 33 percent of women and 20 percent of men aged 50 and older will experience osteoporosis-related bone fractures. More importantly, we know that individuals who sustain fragility fractures ddare a readily identifiable group at high imminent risk of sustaining second and subsequent fractures. More

WHO evidence and gap map on in-person interventions for reducing social isolation and loneliness (all ages)

30 July 2023
Evidence and gap maps are interactive tools that help researchers and decision makers discover existing evidence on a given topic, find solutions supported by evidence, and identify gaps in the evidence where more research is required. The World Health Organization is developing evidence and gap maps as part of a multi-year project to summarise, disseminate, and increase uptake of evidence towards deeper integration in policies and practices during the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. This evidence and gap map examines the evidence on in-person interventions for reducing social isolation and loneliness across all ages, including older people. More

Participatory video for meaningful engagement of older people: a toolkit

1 March 2023
This toolkit by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows how the process known as “participatory video” (PV) can be used to ensure meaningful engagement of older people and contribute to the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030). The aim of this toolkit is to provide people working to implement the Decade with practical ways to understand and use the methods in the PV process for meaningful engagement of older people, to amplify their voices and foster healthy ageing everywhere. The toolkit sets out steps in planning, preparing, equipping, facilitating and managing PV, including obtaining consent and use of the films for dialogue with decision-makers and for wider advocacy. This toolkit is based on the approach, methods and experience of a pilot PV Voice project conducted by WHO for the Decade during 2020–2021 in which case studies were conducted in communities in three countries: Canada, Jordan and Togo.

Bringing generations together for change

19 September 2022
A society for all ages is one where older and younger generations live in harmony together. For this reason, HelpAge International promotes initiatives that bring together older and younger people to work on activities that encourage cross-generational bonding, and address issues affecting them and their community. This guide, produced in collaboration with Restless Development and partners, captures key principles and practical steps to inspire effective intergenerational action. The learning is drawn from initiatives where two or more generations have come together for mutual benefit and to promote greater communication, understanding, and respect. The guide gathers 10 case studies that offer learning about what it’s possible to achieve by bringing generations together for change. It looks at the wider experience of organisations that use an intergenerational approach in their work to address challenges common to different age groups. It also highlights gaps in knowledge and analysis that give rise to new questions. More

UNECE Expert Workshop on Mainstreaming Ageing

1 September 2023
Supporting the implementation of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Guidelines for Mainstreaming Ageing, this expert workshop format consists of a half-day (in person or online) to discuss with national experts and stakeholders how ageing issues can be mainstreamed across government policy. Central to mainstreaming ageing are, on the one hand, age-sensitive research and the involvement of all actors and, and on the other hand, cross-sectoral coordination and cooperation as well as alignment with international policy frameworks. The workshop introduces the concept and methods of mainstreaming ageing, and draws on lessons learnt from gender mainstreaming to stimulate a discussion on whether a similar approach may be used to include the dimension of ‘ageing’ in all policy areas. This format was successfully tested at a workshop in Germany. More
