The United Nations Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing
(MIPAA) offers a bold new agenda for handling the issue of ageing
in the 21st-century. It focuses on three priority areas: older
persons and development; advancing health and well-being into old
age; and ensuring enabling and supportive environments. This book
brings together global perspectives on the MIPAA and focusses on
and assesses the success and failures of governments to implement
its recommendations. Despite its pivotal importance in
international ageing policy, the MIPAA has been relatively
neglected by academics in their writings and studies. This book
mitigates this analytical and empirical cavity. Each chapter
focuses on one specific geographical region and addresses five key
themes: National ageing situation; Twenty years of MIPAA; Ensuring
ageing with dignity; Healthy and active ageing in a sustainable
world; and Priorities for the future. It presents an overall
summary of the findings, future challenges and opportunities
related to ageing, recommendations for future actions to be taken,
and policy adjustments needed. The authors also present lessons
that were learnt from managing the impact of COVID-19 on older
people, together with an outlook on the most immediate priorities
for the future so that the recommendations in the MIPAA are
achieved in post-COVID-19 and sustainable ethical scenarios. An
important contribution towards the advancement of ageing policy,
the book will be indispensable to students and researchers of
gerontology, ageing, and health. It will also be of interest to
policy makers, geriatricians, dementia care specialists, social
policy makers responsible for ensuring active and healthy ageing,
and all public sector departments which have specific
responsibilities towards improving the quality of life of older
adults.
