HelpAge International (2023) Including Us: What older people say about the barriers they face to social inclusion

This paper collates responses from consultations with older people in Colombia, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines and Spain on their experiences of inclusion. It covers the concept of social inclusion and how it relates to ageing and the rights of older people, features older people’s responses questions about their experiences of certain aspects of social inclusion, summarises existing human rights law and identifies the main gaps, and clarifies what difference a UN convention on the rights of older people would make to promote social inclusion.
