Rapidly and surely our world of 7 billion people is growing older. In less than 10 years, more than one billion people will be 60 or older.
Population ageing, which results from lower fertility and longer survival, is actually a triumph of development. Yet it also presents many challenges.
This unprecedented trend calls for a rethinking of how much older persons can contribute back to society.
Everyone has an opportunity and a responsibility to make a world of 7 billion a better place for all of us. We are collecting stories of individuals making a difference in their communities – and globally. Stories that can inspire others to take action. To date, 1,386 people have shared their stories.
