The Asia-Pacific Report on Population Ageing 2022 is unique as it combines the latest research and statistical evidence on the levels and trends in population ageing, mostly taken from the World Population Prospects 2022 and other publicly available global datasets, with an assessment by governments and stakeholders of the situation of older persons and relevant policies and programmes. The report is structured along the three priority directions of MIPAA: (a) older persons and development; (b) advancing health and well-being into old age; and (c) ensuring enabling and supportive environments. Moreover, there is a chapter on data and research and the final chapter contains conclusions and recommendations. Gender considerations and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on older persons are mainstreamed throughout the report. Issues concerning the nexus between older persons and the effects of climate change and disasters are also addressed.
