Seminar on policies and good practices: Addressing challenges and opportunities to population ageing and safeguarding the rights of older persons

​

Venue: The Nest Hotel Nusa Dua (visit website)

Organiser: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and BAPPENAS

​

Asia and the Pacific is experiencing rapid population ageing, with older persons projected to constitute nearly 20 per cent of the region’s population by 2050. This demographic shift necessitates urgent and comprehensive policy adaptations across various sectors, from social protection to health and technology and disaster risk reduction. The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) and the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing provide a framework for addressing these challenges. Centered around the ESCAP repository of policies and good practices on population ageing, this seminar aims to foster peer learning and sharing of experiences to support the development of policies on ageing that align with global, regional, and subregional frameworks and human rights standards.

 

The latest evidence and mandates on population ageing in Asia and the Pacific will be presented and reviewed. ESCAP also seek to obtain feedback on repository of policies and good practices on ageing , along with discuss considerations and criteria for aligning policies and good practices with international frameworks and country-specific priorities.
