Introduction The following study responds to two key issues: the global population is ageing at an unprecedented rate, and the global urban population is now larger than the rural population. In 2050, 70% of the world’s population is predicted to live in cities, and the number of people aged over 65, are expected to triple to 2 billion, representing 22% of the total. In 2050, for the fi rst time in human history, the number of older people will be greater than the number of children under 15 years old. China, India and the United States, will each have over 100 million people aged over 65. In Europe, many countries are already facing these issues. In fact, ageing is one of the greatest economic and social challenges that OECD countries are facing, representing a radical demographic change comparable to the industrial revolution. The shift is dramatic, especially in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany: the countries where the ten most aged major cities in Europe are located. Are we ready to respond to this societal change? What issues, challenges and opportunities do older people face on a day to day basis in an urban context? What are the challenges and opportunities resulting from an ageing urban population? How can cities respond to this demographic change and deliver appropriate solutions? Cities and urban environments, as the places where human lived experience are concentrated, have the potential to help us in understanding the method with which to mitigate, adapt to or manage societal changes. Thus, they have a fundamental role in defi ning how to respond to our ageing society. ‘Shaping ageing cities’ is a comparative overview of the structure, both social and physical, of 10 selected cities, referring to population ageing data and refl ecting through the lenses of society, mobility, the built and digital environments.

They aim to help relief agencies meet the special needs of older people in emergencies. While older people are commonly accepted as being a vulnerable or potentially vulnerable group, at present very little is done to meet their particular needs, or to recognise their unique capacities and contributions. Humanitarian interventions often ignore older people’s special needs, using systems that discriminate against them and, on occasion, undermine their capacity to support themselves.

  • Advancing the Inclusion of Older People in Livelihoods and Work Opportunities
    Capacity Assessment Analysis Report, HelpAge Jordan Project Advancing the inclusion of older people in livelihoods and work opportunities Capacity assessment analysis report, 2018 HelpAge Knowledge & Resource Hub Tel: +962 (0) 6 4640241 - E-mail: knowledgeandresourcehub [email protected] 1 Capacity Assessment Analysis Report, HelpAge Jordan Project Foreword HelpAge International (HAI) is a global network of organisations promoting the right of all older people to lead dignified, healthy and secure lives. Our role is to work with older women and men in low and middle-income countries for better services and policies, and for changes in the behaviours and attitudes of individuals and societies towards old age. The world we want is one where every older woman and man, everywhere, can say: "I have the income I need" "I enjoy the best possible health and quality of life" "I am safe and secure, free from discrimination and abuse" "My voice is heard" HAI has been raising awareness among humanitarian actors and government institutions about the vulnerabilities of older men and women as a result of humanitarian crises in the Middle East region since 2009. Building on our previous engagement, in 2017 HAI in Jordan partnered with the German government to establish a new, innovative Knowledge & Resource Hub to provide better support to organizations responding to the humanitarian and livelihoods needs of older people. The project, "Leaving No One Behind”, conducted a short, qualitative capacity assessment exercise in 2018 among local, national, and international organizations, government agencies and private sector organizations to identify needs and knowledge gaps in relation to the inclusion of older Syrian refugees and Jordanians in livelihoods interventions, programmes and work opportunities.

  • Helpage International Statement Delivered by Toby Porter, CEO, Helpage International
    WORLD HUMANITARIAN SUMMIT HIGH LEVEL LEADERS’ ROUNDTABLE 6 Natural Disasters and Climate Change – managing risks and crises differently HelpAge International statement Delivered by Toby Porter, CEO, HelpAge International We all must face the fact that the world is ageing rapidly. Some of the states represented here are among the fastest ageing countries on earth. Within five years, adults aged 60 and over will outnumber children aged under 5.1 By 2050, there will be more people in the world aged over 60 than all children under 14.2 Populations are ageing fastest in low and middle income countries where the human impact of disasters tends to be greatest.3 HelpAge International and its global network are proud to endorse the five core commitments of this Roundtable. We must also recognise that older men and women are amongst the people at highest risk in disasters. When the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in 2011, 56% of all those who died were aged 65 and over, although only 23% of the baseline population was in this age group.4 In Nepal, 29% of those who died in last year’s earthquake were aged over 60, yet older people are only 8% of the population.5 Yet despite the growing number of older people affected by disasters and the disproportionate risk they face, older people still tend to be neglected in disaster preparedness and disaster response.6 The Synthesis Report on the consultation process for this World Humanitarian Summit makes a very clear call: “Correct the neglect of older people”,7 it said.
