Summary:

This publication, issued by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), provides a detailed analysis of national policies and programs addressing the challenges of population ageing in Asia and the Pacific. It highlights the rapid demographic shift towards older populations in the region, driven by increased longevity and declining fertility rates. The book examines critical issues such as social participation, income security, health care, and long-term care for older persons. It also reviews the progress made under the Macao Plan of Action on Ageing and the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, offering insights into effective practices and lessons learned. This resource is aimed at policymakers, researchers, and organizations involved in social policy and ageing, with the goal of fostering regional and international cooperation to address the socio-economic implications of ageing populations.
