The latest news from Age International, including updates on our work in low and middle-income countries and how you can support older people globally.
Across the world, older people continually demonstrate they are resilient and have much to offer. Yet they experience daily violations of their rights, are too often denied access to work and healthcare, and are prevented from participating fully in society.
