Description

The event will explore ageing and mobility within the context of the World Health Organization “Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021-2030”.

A framework based around four key goals (the creation of age-friendly environments, combatting ageism, and actions to improve both integrated and long-term care) and close collaboration between stakeholders to promote older people's well-being.

This webinar will focus on mobility and transport accessibility in later life, as part of the age-friendly environments, thus, encouraging social inclusion and healthier lives.

This current webinar is open both to academics and practitioners and the discussion will focus on the following topics in Global South countries context:

  • Challenges related to older people's mobility and connections of mobility with other life sectors.
  • Research gaps and essential transport policies.
  • Plans/vision for the future of older people's mobility.
