SUMMARY:34th UN International Day of Older Persons Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Population ageing is a major global trend reshaping societies worldwide. Life expectancy at birth now exceeds 75 years in half of the world’s countries\, 25 years longer than in 1950. By 2030\, older persons are projected to outnumber youth globally\, with this increase most rapid in developing countries. This demographic shift has significantly transformed the caregiving landscape\, encompassing a wide range of needs for both paid and unpaid support in formal and informal settings. As populations age\, the demand for comprehensive healthcare\, care\, and social support services has grown substantially\, particularly for older persons with conditions such as dementia. In recognition of these challenges and opportunities\, the 34th commemoration of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons will focus on the theme of “Ageing with Dignity: The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide“. \nThis year’s event will bring together experts to discuss policies\, legislation\, and practices that strengthen care and support systems for older persons. It will highlight the urgent need to expand training and educational opportunities in geriatrics and gerontology\, address the global shortage of care workers\, and recognize the diverse contributions of caregivers. The commemoration will also emphasize the importance of protecting the human rights of both caregivers and care recipients\, promoting person-centered approaches to care that respect the dignity\, beliefs\, needs\, and privacy of older persons\, and for the right to make decisions about their care and quality of their lives. \nMission Statement \n  \n\nCommemoration Event in New York\, 7 October 2024\, 10am-1pm EDT\nECOSOC Chamber at the UN Headquarters\nRegister here: https://bit.ly/register-unidop2024 \n \nFlyer 1 \nFlyer 2 \n\nStay tuned!
