    IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED PEOPLE IN HUMAN SETTLEMENTS IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED PEOPLE IN HUMAN SETTLEMENTS VOLUME I A Resource Book of Policy and Programmes from around the World United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) Nairobi, 1993 HS/284/93E ISBN 92-1-131208-6 FOREWORD The world's population is ageing dramatically. The total number of people aged 60 and older grew from 200 million in 1950 to 400 million in 1982. Their number is expected to increase to 600 million in the year 2001 when 70 per cent of them will live in developing countries. This demographic revolution has major consequences on the way human settlements are designed, managed and used. The United Nations and its agencies have undertaken many activities that recognize this reality. The General Assembly adopted the World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons and proclaimed 1981 the International Year of Disabled Persons. In 1982, 124 Member States adopted the International Plan of Action on Aging at the World Assembly on Aging. These two landmark events launched a variety of activities and studies during the United Nations Decade of Elderly and Disabled Persons. The United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) launched the decade with two important documents. Designing with Care - a Guide to Adaptation of the Built Environment for Disabled Persons was published as the result of cooperation between the United Nations, UNCHS (Habitat) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). This guide pointed out that implementation of suggested design guidelines and related policies and programmes would have to be undertaken by authorities, taking into consideration the economic, social and climatic conditions of the human settlement concerned.

Since the earli- est days of immigration, women have been expected to help support the family. They Oworked in canneries, took in sewing, ran shops, helped on the farm, did cleaning and also maintained their children, housework and cooking. It sounds exhausting! This photograph shows Yoko Takahashi at age 15 working in the berry farms at Magna Bay, on Shuswap Lake. During the war years, the Takahashi family first went to Tashme, and in 1945 moved to Rosebery and New Denver. Because work in the Slocan Valley was scarce, many com- munity members travelled to the berry and fruit farms for several weeks of intense labour in the harvesting season. The museum collections include thousands of photographs of women at work that assist us to understand the many diverse roles women embraced within the Japanese Canadian community.
