En el corazon de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible existe la promesa de "no dejar a nadie atras" y llegar primero a los mas rezagados. Esto implica garantizar que todo los individuos, incluidas todas las personas mayores, sean tenidos en cuenta para los esfuerzos del desarrollo.
Esta guía ayuda al personal de HelpAge y a los miembros de la red a utilizar la Agenda 2030 para promover los derechos y la inclusión de las personas mayores en las políticas y prácticas del desarrollo. Explica cómo el desarrollo global debe satisfacer las necesidades y los derechos de las personas mayores para que sea sostenible y proporciona argumentos clave para presentar este caso a los responsables de construir políticas.
Our lives are shaped by where we live. In cities, social and political power dynamics often combine to create geographies of exclusion. Rapid urban population ageing demands an understanding of the ways in which older age intersects with other factors to marginalise older people in the cities where they live. In 2019, HelpAge International conducted research with 1,310 older residents of Nairobi, Delhi and Mexico City to explore their experiences of different aspects of urban life, such as transportation and crime, and the social outcomes of these, such as loneliness and isolation. Their responses provided rich testimony of the ways in which the place we grow old in impacts on our experience of life. They illustrate, in particular, importance of place, mobility and inequality.
