World Social Report 2023 : Leaving No One Behind in an Ageing World Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UN. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN. DESA) Population ageing is a defining global trend of our time. People are living longer, and more are older than ever before. Spectacular improvements in health and survival and reductions in fertility have driven this momentous shift, which has begun or is expected to begin soon in all countries and areas. This change brings both challenges and opportunities as countries strive to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2022, the world marked the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing. To commemorate this landmark, the World Social Report 2023 explores the economic and social implications of the ageing of the human population. It builds on the Plan of Action’s framework for national policies to create equitable, inclusive societies for people of all ages, providing recommendations to put the rights and well-being of older persons at the centre, across the life course. Population ageing is an inevitable result of the demographic transition towards longer lives and smaller families. While the shift towards older populations is largely irreversible, collective actions and policy decisions shape its path and consequences. Postponing critical measures that allow societies to benefit from and adapt to population ageing would impose high social, economic, fiscal and health-related costs, for both current and future generations. By contrast, with appropriate foresight and planning, Governments can manage the challenges from population ageing while enhancing opportunities for all people to thrive and ensuring that no one is left behind. As elaborated in this report, population ageing needs to be widely understood as more than just a set of discrete concerns mainly for one group of people who have advanced beyond a given age. Ageing touches all parts of economies and societies, from health care and education to employment and taxation. Each stage of life can contribute to or detract from well-being at older ages.

Human Rights: 13 Ideas Received To Be Deconstructed Year of publication: 2022 Author: Céline Branaa | Louise Pluyaud | Louise Savri Corporate author: Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme (CNCDH) Aimed at 14-20 year-olds, this book aims to raise awareness of human rights and reminds us of the major role they play in our lives and in the organization of contemporary society. Today, human rights are being challenged by various movements that question their usefulness, effectiveness and universality. The links between certain violations of fundamental rights, climate change, the dangers of digital technology and so many other contemporary issues are often misunderstood or even ignored. The NCCHR is convinced of the urgent need to reaffirm that human rights are the foundation of a democratic society. To this end, the members of the NCCHR set out to deconstruct 13 of the most common misconceptions heard or disseminated in the media and on social networks. Through 13 illustrated chapters, each corresponding to a preconceived idea, human rights appear at the heart of our civilization as a current and indispensable reference. Readers are invited to become actively involved in their promotion. This book is a reminder that fundamental rights are not a construct of the past, but a necessary tool for the present. Highlighting the richness of human rights, this book is an invitation to anticipate a common future in which the dignity and freedom of the human person represent an accessible promise.
