As the health and economic upheavals brought on by Covid-19 and subsequent crises have made evident, however, progress towards poverty eradication is fragile. With only a few years remaining before the target date of 2030 for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a renewed commitment to accelerate progress towards poverty eradication.

The trend towards a growing number and share of older persons is projected to continue in the foreseeable future. As the number of older persons grows, their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics will evolve as well, with implications for economies, societies and public budgets. While long-term trends are hard to predict, assessing the characteristics of current and future cohorts of older persons provides important insights into the future of our ageing world.

These are coupled with other pressing challenges toward achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including poverty eradication, climate change as well as energy and food crises.

Languages are vehicles of our cultures, collective memory and values. They are an essential component of our identities. Out of the 6,700 languages spoken worldwide, forty percent are in danger of disappearing. Indigenous Peoples make up less than 6 percent of the global population, yet they speak more than 4,000 of the world’s languages. Most of the languages that are under threat are Indigenous languages.

Without policies to prevent it, disadvantages reinforce one another through peoples’ lives, leading to large disparities among older adults. A life course perspective on ageing is critical to improving people’s health and well-being throughout the life course into old age.

As importantly, life expectancy has increased at all ages such that a person at age 65 in 2019 was likely to live 6.2 years longer than in the early 1950s (United Nations, 2022). But life expectancy differs significantly across countries and within them.

While new forms of work enabled by digital technologies have rapidly been expanding in more advanced economies, they are also spreading to emerging economies, where the effects on the labour markets are likely to be different.

These consequences have taken a toll on social development and people’s well-being, especially among the most vulnerable.” The Report further analyzed the link between high inequality, consumerism and… <div class="pubfile"><a href="/sites/default/files/publications/2021-11/PB_109_Jun30.pdf" title="PB_109_Jun30.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-default">Download <span class="pubfileexteension">(pdf)</span></a></div> </span></div></div> <div class="views-row"><div class="views-field views-field-field-publication-image"><span class="field-content"> <a href="/publications/trust-in-public-institutions-trends-and-implications-for-economic-security" hreflang="en"><img src="/sites/default/files/publications/cover-image/2021/trust-public-institutions-360x186.jpg" width="360" height="186" alt="" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </a> </span></div><div class="views-field views-field-nothing"><span class="field-content"><div class="pubdate">Policy Briefs | <time datetime="2021-07-20T12:00:00Z">20 July 2021</time> </div> <div class="pubtitle"><h4><a href="/publications/trust-in-public-institutions-trends-and-implications-for-economic-security" hreflang="en">Trust in public institutions: Trends and implications for economic security</a></h4></div> Why should we care about trust? Trust is integral to the functioning of any society. Trust in each other, in our public institutions and in our leaders are all essential ingredients for social and economic progress, allowing people to cooperate with and express solidarity for one another. It allows public bodies to plan and execute policies and deliver services. Greater public trust has been found to improve compliance in regulations and tax collections, even respect for property rights. It also gives confidence to consumers and investors, crucial to creating jobs and the functioning of economies more broadly.
