Description
Summary:Older people contribute to society in many ways, for example, through participation in the workforce, the taxes they pay, the direct economic support they can give to younger family members, or through the sharing of their experience.3 Even in high-income countries that have comprehensive social protection platforms, the economic value of these contributions outweigh the direct costs of pensions, health care and other services that governments provide.3 However, the extent of these opportunities and contributions will depend heavily on the health of these older populations. The Bulletin of the World Health Organization will publish a theme issue on actions and approaches to support the development of resilient health and longterm care systems for ageing populations.
