Life for older people and their families is full of risks and shocks. Social protection is an investment in a country’s future, and programmes such as universal social pensions are vital for ensuring that people of all ages lead secure and healthy lives.
We’re calling on David Lammy MP to make history by championing the rights of older people everywhere, with a public statement in support of a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons.
Globally, older women are contributing unrecognised yet critical support to their families, communities and economies through their paid and unpaid work. Our new report gives voice to older women’s experience of work and sets out recommendations for how to address this inequality.
