Background

We are living in an ageing society. Older people are enjoying better health and have new expectations and aspirations about their quality of life. In response to this, new “active ageing policies and strategies” are emerging to empower older people as active citizens. Increased active participation by older people in society provides an opportunity to address demographic change in Europe and enhances the contribution of older people on shaping our future society.
