Résumé : | This policy brief addresses older persons in vulnerable situations. It first discusses the types of vulnerable situations experienced by older persons, their causes and strategies for increasing coping resources and resilience across the life course. It presents policy examples from the UNECE region addressing the situation of vulnerable older persons, with a focus on income and housing, health and long-term care, prevention of violence, abuse and neglect, and social participation. The brief also highlights several ongoing crises putting older persons at increased risk of vulnerability, including the costs-of-living crisis, the war in Ukraine and loneliness and social isolation. Finally, the brief draws attention to the importance of adequate data and research and the involvement of older persons in decision-making. |
