- Presentation at the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki, Finland on the 20 th of October, 2010. Topic: Global policies and local actions. Forward looking positive responses to ageing” Presentation on the implementation of MIPAA – From the Shadow to the Spotlight. Spotlighting Global Ageing 1. Background (MIPAA, Social Protection Floor, Economic Burden of Dementia …) 2. What we achieved/did in the past – how do we move on from here? 3. HelpAge’s agenda 2010/2012 for the review and appraisal of MIPAA: Global (developed and developing world / Global South and North) Link governmental action to older people’s realities (address the two essential questions for an analysis of the Plan’s implementation: 1. What has been done at the national level since the Second World Assembly? 2. What has been the impact of implemented policies on the quality of life and well-being of older people?) Elaborate on details in the second half of the presentation 4. Feedback from audience/ Q&A
- The rights and contributions of older people and the urgency of action on ageing worldwide was fully recognised by the Second World Assembly on Ageing in Madrid in 2002. The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, the outcome document of this Assembly, was adopted by 159 member states in April 2002.
- Despite this, ageing is at periphery of international development agenda (e.g. absence of reference to ageing in MDGs) – guaranteeing older people access to services and income does not only benefit them, but also younger generations and thus, helps to achieve the MDGs
- Josephine is just one example of how older people contribute to their societies. There are endless examples of material and immaterial intergenerational transfers from the older to the younger generation.
- An opportunity for change?! Global Social Protection Floor Initiative 2009 There is wide evidence that social transfers and access to services empower older people and help thus them to support younger generations.
- Despite MIPAA’s focus on development and the “developing world”, it is important to take a global approach: all countries should be preparing for their ageing populations and its implications. There are a number of reasons for this: demographic change is occurring in the developing and the developed world; migration/globalisation; change of disease patterns etc. Despite these challenges, which are often labelled as “burdens”, we need to acknowledge older people’s contributions (NEXT SLIDE) Add something about economic impact of dementia, care and inter-generational aspects and migration. Also about climate change and gender?
- This approach is widely reflected in HelpAge’s work (e.g. OCM, ADA, OPAs)… NEXT THREE SLIDES WITH EXAMPLES FROM ADA, INSIGHTS ON AGEING SURVEY AND SOTWOP 2002
- Partnerships on ageing and rights with UN - WHO, ILO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDESA – NGOs - Academics
- Generate messages to engage international audiences with global ageing topics and also to contribute to desk research on ageing which can reinforce our advocacy on key issues such as calling for a convention to protect the rights of older people. 3500 respondents, predominantly from Bangladesh 22% of the respondents were aged between 30 and 39 years Overall results (all age groups, all countries) 61.4% think that people in their society value older people but 99.7% of people expect to be valued when they are considered old. 71.7% think older people contribute to society, 6% think that they don’t and 22.3% are not sure. 47.6% think the world is getting better for older people, 21.9% think it is getting worse and 18.6% think it is staying the same (this includes Bangladesh which is particularly positive) Results excluding Bangladesh (all age groups) 40.6% think that the world is getting better for older people, 34.9% think it is getting worse and 16.1% think it is staying the same. Under 60s compared to over 60s (all countries) 70.3% of those under 60 find it hard to obtain healthcare whilst only 63.5% of those over 60 find it hard. This could potentially be because those over 60 interviewed have obtained help accessing healthcare from the organisation which is carrying out the survey. 77.4% of people under 60 do not have enough income to pay for basic services compared to 72.8% of those over 60. These results are relatively similar, showing that people of all ages are finding it hard to pay for basic services. It is worth noting that most survey results are coming from our partners and affiliates who have interviewed the people they work with. These people inevitably tend to live in some of the poorest communities. Results may differ if there were more middle-class respondents. 78.7% of those over 60 think older people contribute to society compared to only 67.6% of those under 60. This is quite a significant difference, emphasising that the contribution made by older people to society is not always recognised. Under 60s compared to over 60s, excluding Bangladesh These results have been looked at again excluding Bangladesh. This is because over 50% of the overall responses came from Bangladesh, hence skewing the results. 58.9% of those over 60 find it hard to access healthcare compared to 56.2% of those under 60. 71.6% of those over 60 do not have enough income to pay for basic services compared to 69.7% under 60. 87.8% under 60 think older people contribute to society compared to 81.6 % over 60. I am not sure how to explain this other than a lack of opportunities for older people to fulfil their potential to contribute. Bangladesh (where there is a pension available) compared to Haiti (without) – all age groups 60.5% of people in Bangladesh think that people in their society value older people compared to 39% in Haiti. 54.2% of those surveyed in Bangladesh think that the world is getting better for older people in comparison to 17.1% of those in Haiti. Only 9.7% of those in Bangladesh think things are getting worse for older people but 60.7% in Haiti think things are getting worse. 95.9% of those in Haiti would like to see their government do something to make living in older age better compared to 83.6% in Bangladesh
- HelpAge International plans to organize a number of projects under the title “From the Shadows to the Light. Spotlighting Global Ageing”. These projects are undertaken in the context of the 10 th anniversary of MIPAA and the overall aim is to put an end to poverty and discrimination in older age by helping to build a global movement that recognises and supports the realisation of older people’s rights around the world, in the Global South as well as in the Global North. Link between governmental action and the experiences of older people. (1. formal processes / 2. older people’s views)
- Data collection by six regional consultancies Global report (early 2011) Build on this review for SOTWOP 2012 (this review will provide the necessary information to analyse the impact of these governmental actions on the QoL and well-being of older people) The impact on OP will be assessed through older people’s hearings (from the local to the global level)… NEXT SLIDE
- Could be used to develop a HDI with an ageing component and to get a UN Convention on Older People’s Rights
