Research Agenda on Ageing for the 21st Century

The Research Agenda on Ageing for the 21st Century identifies priorities for policy-related research and data collection. Simultaneously, it encourages researchers to pursue studies in policy-related areas of ageing where the findings may have practical and realistic applications. Within the United Nations, it is recognized as an important tool for supporting the implementation and monitoring of policy actions proposed in the Madrid International Plan
of Action on Ageing.
