Pictures of Aging in Uganda

People are getting older and not just in Western countries. Societal pressures from extended life expectancy are now emerging in low-income countries. The picture of ageing in low-income countries is not one that is familiar or globally known. So many older persons don’t even know their exact age.Ageing populations across the globe will lead to a rise in frailty, disability and dependency.

Solutions to these problems must be financially, socially and environmentally sustainable to avoid prejudicing life chances of current and future populations.
