Ageing in the Twenty-First Century: A Celebration and A Challenge"
【UNFPA】 Symposium "Ageing in the Twenty-First Century: A Celebration and A Challenge"
On 1st October, UN International Day of Older Persons, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will publish “Ageing in the Twenty-First Century: A Celebration and A Challenge”.
Last year, the world population reached 70 million, and the ratio of older persons is clearly rising upwards in most countries. By 2050, it is forecasted that nearly 80% of the world’s oldest people will live in emerging and developing economies; thus it is anticipated that ageing society will become major challenges for humankind, and actions will be important.
In the symposium, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director of UNFPA
will make a keynote address announcing the launch of the report, and HelpAge International (international NGO and co-author of the report), experts from China, South Korea and Japan will discuss the way forward for the ageing society. We look forward to your attendance to this symposium.
