Third Meeting of Working Group on Ageing

22 - 23 November 2010
Geneva Switzerland

UNECE’s Working Group on Ageing held its third annual meeting on November 22nd and 23rd to discuss issues surrounding ageing in the region.

The Working Group, first convened in 2008, has successfully implemented its first two-year programme of work, and this meeting served to renew the group’s commitment to regional implementation of the UN’s global strategy on ageing: the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing.  Delegates gave their support to the continued work of UNECE in capacity building, indicator development, production of policy briefs, and analysis of intergenerational relationships via a growing series of surveys in the Generations and Gender Programme.

The Working Group agreed to organize a Regional Ministerial Conference on Ageing, to be held in Vienna in September 2012, on the tenth anniversary of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and the adoption of its regional implementation strategy in Berlin.  The conference will allow ministers to review progress and decide on future directions for making and implementing policies on ageing.
