About
This presentation will outline work taking place on an Index of the Rights of Older People and the assessment of 12 European countries’ performance on developing such rights. Dr Birtha will discuss why a human rights-based approach is needed in long-term care policies across Europe and what practical tools could help in the development and assessment of policies to respond best to the social, economic and political challenges of an ageing population. Professor Herring will discuss the implications for the UK.
