| Annotation | Gender and ageing debates have tended to focus on older women, because they live longer than men, and face special disadvantages and discrimination. For HelpAge International (HAI), promoting older people's rights means understanding and responding to the specific changes brought by ageing to the needs, capacities and roles of both men and women, in their families, communities and societies. This paper summarises HAI's position and its agenda for action. (RH). |
