International Day of Older Persons 2021

On 14 December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated 1 October the International Day of Older Persons. The aim of the day is to spread awareness about issues affecting the elderly.

People worldwide are living longer. While life expectancy among people is improving with better health care, lifestyle, sufficient food and improved medical care, the same cannot be said about the quality of life for the elderly.

On 14 December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons.

According to United Nations, by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older will reach 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015. Today, 125 million people are aged 80 years or older.

The theme for 2021 is “Digital Equity for All Ages” which affirms the need for access and meaningful participation in the digital world by older persons.

We’re fortunate to have older people around us, whether they’re family, friends, or just general acquaintances. Older people are fonts of wisdom, experience, and storytelling. They can inspire us to continue striving — or warn us of dangers we’re unaware of. We should look to them for guidance whenever and wherever possible. Unfortunately, far too often we tend to forget — or, worse, downright ignore — the older people in our lives.

According to a recent study, most people are happiest in youth and then once they reach their 70s and 80s. Most people reported that they were the least happy in middle age.
