As part of the Fundamental Rights Forum, AGE is organizing a Forum paralell open sessionon Making rights real: the fight against ageism, which will further explore the drivers of ageism that act as barriers to the full and equal realisation of human rights in older age and examine how a rights-based approach can end poverty, reduce inequality and promote health and wellbeing in later life. It will call on human rights professionals from different fields to reflect on how they can integrate the fight against ageism in their work. And, since ageism cuts across the age spectrum, the session will also discuss ageism as it is experienced both by old and young people.

The European Commission, UNECE, the University of the Basque Country, the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, with the support of the Government of Biscay (Spain), are organising a Second International Seminar on the Active Ageing Index (AAI) in Bilbao in September 2018.
The seminar aims to bring together
- researchers,
- civil society representatives,
- policymakers
- other stakeholders.
It will provide a multidisciplinary forum for those interested in the use of AAI to enhance the knowledge about ageing and older people and lead to the development of better policies.
The seminar will be dedicated to the studies focusing on the use of AAI to identify ways to improve active ageing outcomes through appropriate policy measures at different levels. To feed the seminar debate, the organisations above are launching this call for papers.
The topics of interest include the following:
- Comparing AAI results in two or more countries or subnational regions / local territorial entities and identifying explanatory factors within the context of policy differences
- Analysing AAI results for different population groups according to determinants such as education level, income, residence area (urban/rural) etc. or their combination, identifying reasons behind existing inequalities and making recommendations for better outcomes
- Evaluating AAI as an evidence-based monitoring and advisory tool for policymaking at national and subnational levels, using actual examples of AAI application
- Applying AAI in combination with other measurements to analyse broader ageing-related phenomena
- Contextual analysis and clustering of countries/regions to identify factors underlying active ageing outcomes and capacities for active ageing
- Identifying life-course determinants of diverse active ageing outcomes observed in the AAI calculations
OVERVIEW
Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, South Korea and China are facing a demographic crisis. The aged are starting to dramatically outnumber the young, an issue that affects every aspect of society. Businesses are struggling to adapt to the changing nature of their workforces, and health care systems are coming under increasing financial strain. While governments are acting—Singapore has signaled a rise in GST tax and Japan is investing in pension reform and productivity improvements—they may not be doing enough to prepare their societies for the reality of living to one hundred. How can ageing societies get ready for extended life expectancy? And what are the opportunities for those investing in the ‘silver economy’?
About the 2018 summit:
The world’s over-60 population is already nearing a billion—and it’s still growing. Low fertility rates and increasing life expectancy have the United Nations predicting that by 2050 there will be 2.1 billion of these older people, and around half of them will live in Asia.
Longevity is a polarising issue. Optimists enthuse about advances in biotechnology and the market power of a silver economy; doomsayers fear skyrocketing health-care costs and inadequate workforces. A more plausible, middle position is to see the challenges associated with an ageing population as inextricably linked with their solutions. Governments and businesses need healthy populations to sustain demand, productivity and growth. And as people age, they want to stay healthy, engaged and purposeful. Happily, these are complementary demands.
But across Asia, progress in meeting the challenges of ageing has been patchy. Japan and Singapore have made great strides in helping their populations cope with longevity. Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea are catching up by embracing new ideas and policy solutions. Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia enjoy demographic buoyancy, with younger populations for the moment, but in the coming decades they will face the same pressures as their greying neighbours. What lessons can Asia’s longevity leaders share when it comes to engaging the over-60 population in the economy and society? Can the longevity dividend offset the costs of increased demand for health care and social services?
In 2017, for the first time, The Economist brought together Asian business leaders, political decision-makers and health-care entrepreneurs to discuss how to make longevity a source of healthy innovation. At the Longevity Summit 2018, The Economist will build on this momentum to foster thinking on the topic of “living to 100”.

POLICYMAKERS PANEL: IS ASIA PREPARED FOR THE LONGEVITY CHALLENGE?
The Asian Development Bank warns that the rising proportion of older Asians will reduce productivity and diminish growth. Health-care spending is already ballooning as diseases of ageing such as cancer, dementia, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders become more prevalent. Studies have shown that those chronic conditions are the biggest factor keeping older people from work.The challenges presented by ageing populations are inextricably linked with the solutions. Economies need healthy workers to support growth while older people’s physical and mental health benefits from the engagement and financial security that comes from staying in their jobs. How are Asian policymakers tapping this synergy to protect their economies’ fiscal health as populations age? Are integrated health systems helping support productivity?

THE AGE OF INNOVATION
As populations live longer, demand for health care grows. This is especially so in rapid technology-adopting Asia where the latest gadgets and longevity treatments are eagerly embraced. From virtual reality and automatic vehicles to artificial intelligence and robotics, disruptive innovations are changing health and aged care. In-home sensors, wearables and digital health have made ageing in place possible for those with the necessary resources and know-how. But what of the digital poor in remote areas, who lack access to education and resources? How can product and service designers ensure the digital revolution reaches those who need it most?We will hear from health entrepreneurs about the technologies and tools with the most promise to transform ageing.

NEW THINKING FOR OLD PROBLEMS: IS FOOD THE BEST MEDICINE?
Culture plays an under-scrutinised role in ageing, shaping our attitudes and choices about work, family, finances and food. As health care moves from treating symptoms of disease towards wellness and prevention, food and nutrition are becoming a focus for clinicians and policymakers alike.Studies have shown that caloric restriction extends lifespan in some animals and reduces the incidence of heart disease, obesity and diabetes in humans. On the other hand, ageing diminishes our ability to absorb nutrients, causes dental problems and dulls senses like taste and smell, contributing to malnutrition among older people. How can food be used as a tool to manage ageing? And how can we sustain our planet as well as ourselves?

IN CONVERSATION: AGEING IN PLACE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT
A study published in The Lancet attributes Korea’s world-leading life expectancy to universal health. Speedy development has seen longevity increase and fertility rates plummet. What lessons do Asia’s “greying tigers” have for developing economies in the region? Can once-young workforces in Vietnam, Thailand and China age gracefully while their countries develop? As NGOs and governments work to bring vote-winning universal health coverage to populations in developing countries, how should they manage their increasing longevity? And can developing countries contain costs by establishing infrastructure and community care that allows people to “age in place”, staying in their homes rather than entering expensive inpatient hospital systems?

PANEL: THE SEARCH FOR A LONGEVITY BUSINESS MODEL
There is consensus among commentators that longevity is an enormous business opportunity. Advocates argue that over-65s are the fastest-growing and most lucrative global market. Consumer goods, housing, financial services, infrastructure and transport are all predicted to boom in the “silver economy”. But so far, few firms have enjoyed commercial success by targeting the senior spend.This panel will examine the barriers businesses face in bringing age-friendly products and services to market. The histories of the electric engine, personal computers and artificial intelligence all show that technology diffusion is rarely swift. Initial breakthroughs often excite inventors and journalists but then languish for decades before reaching mass adoption. How can regulators, entrepreneurs and investors overcome today’s longevity-lag?

PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE: GENERATIONAL DIVERSITY AT WORK
As Asia ages, tight labour markets are squeezing business. In Singapore, the health-care industry alone needs to recruit an additional 30,000 workers in the next two years to keep up with demand. But across the region, bosses have been slow to accommodate older workers. Smart policymakers are stepping in with age-friendly workforce reforms, but governments can only do so much. How can employers leverage the productive capacity of ageing societies?
- From offering flexible hours and life-stage sabbaticals to partnering with not-for-profits, what are the most effective strategies for employers wanting to retain older workers?
- How are employers helping ageing workers to reskill? Are traditional notions of filial piety keeping otherwise productive workers out of the economy?
- Can workers continue to expect the traditional three-stage life—education, work and retirement—in today’s ageing world?

SPOTLIGHT ON“ULTRA-AGED” JAPAN: THE WORLD’S OLDEST AND HEALTHIEST CITIES
Japan’s southern island of Okinawa is home to more centenarians than anywhere else on earth. On the mainland, in the small town of Nagi, the local government is working to boost fertility rates by subsidising housing and child care. And further north, the city of Toyama has embraced innovation to adapt to its shrinking and ageing population. With 30% of its people over 65, Toyama has had to overhaul its finances, services and town planning. Schools have been converted into retirement homes, and residents are offered incentives to live in the city centre, where they have easier access to transport and services. What can other countries learn from the policies and ideas Japan is implementing to ease the burden of ageing?

CONFERENCE CLOSE
Changing Cities to Change the World – Celebrating Thirty Years of the Healthy Cities Movement
Healthy people and healthy places: participation and prosperity for a healthy and peaceful planet
Approach and objectives
The International Healthy Cities Conference is a unique opportunity to join mayors, innovators, political decision-makers and experts in the international community in forging greater health, well-being and sustainable development in cities and urban settings. It will provide a wealth of examples of pioneering initiatives; opportunities for learning, knowledge exchange and collaboration; and ideas and solutions to take home and apply to local challenges.
The Conference is an important international gathering for political leaders, health professionals, city planners, engineers, design professionals, innovators and activists. It creates a forum for presenting progress and exploring the issues and challenges that will shape the vision for an invigorated future for the global Healthy Cities movement.
Putting cities on a sustainable and resilient development path requires bold and transformative steps underpinned by new tools, data, ways of working and resources. By engaging leaders from health, environment, planning, transport, housing, technology, education, science and other sectors, the Conference aims to inspire delegates and to reimagine Healthy Cities in the context of tomorrow’s challenges. It will emphasize the role of cities in implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Conference objectives are to:
exchange knowledge from leading-edge practices on challenges and progress from healthy cities’ and healthy communities’ initiatives across WHO global regions;
demonstrate the critical role of governance for health and sustainable development at the local and urban levels;
inspire and strengthen commitment to healthy cities in the context of tomorrow’s challenges and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda;
consider strong local leadership and its impact on successful collective action; and
foster discussions through special events and knowledge-exchange seminars that reshape and reimagine Healthy Cites in all WHO regions.
Conference themes
The Conference is taking place at a time of immense challenges to health and sustainable development, but also of immense opportunities. It will focus on the six themes of the new political vision for the WHO European Healthy Cities Network, drafted by the Network’s Political Vision Group: people, place, participation, prosperity, planet and peace.
The Political Vision Group, made up of mayors, was appointed by WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab in September 2016. The vision has been widely consulted on with mayors and experts since its inception, and is fully aligned with the United Nations New Urban Agenda and the 2030 Agenda.
The Conference will address the interlinkages and integrated nature of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that make up the 2030 Agenda through its 6 themes. It will focus on improving equity, health and well-being, and on strengthening peace that will profoundly change the lives of people in cities and the world for the better.
Healthy people and healthy places: participation and prosperity for a healthy and peaceful planet
People: a human focus to societal development that prioritizes investment in people to improve equity and inclusion through enhanced empowerment.
This theme includes equity and inclusion, empowerment, non-discriminatory governance, a rights-based approach to participation, universal access to public services, gender equality, and health literacy.

Japan has strived to discover and support venture and other businesses that would contribute to solving problems in the field of healthcare in Japan, such as through holding the Japan Healthcare Business Contest.
In addition to existing efforts, Japan will hold the 1st Well Aging Society Summit Asia-Japan as an international conference for facilitating business partnering. This summit aims to introduce excellent services being offered by those ventures in and outside of Japan and inducing investment in healthcare businesses in Japan and overseas by diverse investors and companies worldwide. At this summit, keynote lectures by intellectuals and panel discussions are scheduled, and a pitch contest will be held among Japanese and foreign ventures that have passed the screening. Additionally, a business matching event for ventures to find partners in conducting business in this field in Japan and overseas by inviting diverse companies and investors will also be held.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) hopes that further development of unique and effective products/services in the healthcare industry here in Japan, which is facing rapid population aging, will contribute to the extension of healthy life expectancy not only for Japan but also for the rest of the world.
Belguim local governments are more and more using open data to provide public services to their citizens. However, they lack tools on how to involve citizens, especially older citizens, in the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of these initiatives in order to make them address citizens’ needs and expectations in their daily life.
The final conference of the project provides an opportunity to learn about the tools and discuss our lessons learnt and policy briefings in order to help other cities and regions to benefit from them.
You may already register here | Deadline: 30 September 2018
We are looking forward to seeing you in October!

Life expectancy in the Nordic region is increasing and the proportion of elderly is growing rapidly. Even though this is a positive development, it poses major challenges. Especially in the fields of housing, transportation, urban planning, health care and social services. It is important to create environments that accommodate senior citizens and allow them to continue to experience quality of life as they get older.
How do we create these age-friendly communities? Many municipalities in the Nordic region are working ambitiously to become a better place to grow older in. Seven Nordic cities have joined the WHO network Age-friendly cities and communities. Some of these cities are described in a Nordic Welfare publication called A better environment to age in – working towards age-friendly cities in the Nordic region (2018). The cities in this network are committed to work within several areas and with a long-term perspective to involve the elderly to participate in this development.
Inclusive community planning must be based on human diversity and also contribute to sustainable development. A universally designed society is thus an investment.
This is the first major conference in the Nordic region focusing on age-friendly cities. The aim of the conference is to pave the way for establishing a strong Nordic network that can work with these issues in the years to come.
Experts, politicians, researchers and representatives from pensioners’ organisations in the Nordic countries are included in the program of this conference. The speakers will inspire by presenting their ideas for changes and improvements.
The conference is arranged in the Stockholm area on the 15-16th of October 2018 and the target group is politicians, decision-makers and civil servants at both national and local level as well as organisations from the Nordic countries, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
The conference is arranged by the Nordic Welfare Centre on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers and in close cooperation with the Swedish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
