By 2050, one in four people in Latin America and the Caribbean will be over 60.
Glad to join @AARP and partners at a roundtable to discuss how to prepare for this demographic shift and turn it into a source of growth.
That means:
✓ Helping people remain active and productive for longer
✓ Investing in healthy aging and care systems
✓ Leveraging technology to adapt and innovate
At @the_IDB Group, we’re putting this into practice through our work on the Silver Economy and our initiative IDB Cares.

Un gusto participar en una mesa redonda con AARP y otros socios para conversar sobre cómo prepararnos para este cambio demográfico y convertirlo en una fuente de crecimiento.
Esto implica:
✓ Ayudar a las personas a mantenerse activas y productivas durante más tiempo.
✓ Invertir en envejecimiento saludable y sistemas de cuidados.
✓ Aprovechar la tecnología para adaptarnos e innovar.
En el Grupo BID estamos poniendo esto en práctica a través de nuestro trabajo en la Economía Plateada y nuestra iniciativa BID Cuida.

No matter our age, our rights are universal. But as we grow older, many of us are ignored and forgotten.
It’s time to listen to older people. Let’s support their calls to end age discrimination.

The UK Government's White Paper on International Development misses one of the most significant transformations the world is undergoing: population ageing.
The Govt's ambitions would be strengthened by explicitly recognising the needs, rights & agency of older people.

There are UN Conventions protecting the rights of:
- Women
- Children
- People with disabilities
But #OlderPeople have been left behind when it comes to protections of their human rights.
