International Day of Older Persons
October 1
1 October is International Day of Older Persons and recognises the importance of older people as an asset to society. It is a day when we reflect on how older people can contribute significantly to the development of society. We recognise the importance of innovative and effective international cooperation to address the challenges of ageing in different countries. We must also recognise the rapid complexity of the world's ageing population and the importance of protecting and promoting the rights of older people. It is necessary to have a common ground and frame of reference to ensure that older people can continue to make their important contribution to society.
