Over the years HelpAge has been voicing it concerns on various ageing issues with the aim to influence Policy makers and bring about policy changes at the top level in the Government. Therefore each issue raised requires extensive research to support it and bring about recommendations for implementation at the policy level to help further development. Ageing is a global phenomenon and recognized so by the United Nations.
In 2002, delegates of various governments, institutions and charities across the world came together at the United Nations "Second World Assembly on Ageing in Madrid" in Spain, to revise the 1982 Vienna Plan on Ageing which had established a global long-term strategy for the aging population.
The outcome led to the formulation of the document "The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing" (MIPAA) which commits Governments to integrate the rights and needs of older persons into national, as well as international, economic and social development policies.
HelpAge India has been involved therefore in international studies on Social Security, Health, and Enabling Environment among others, some of which are shared here below:
HelpAge has also been publishing Research Journals for the last 15 years which showcase research and recommendations of various Experts in the field of Ageing.
