B) |
Training Programme : |
Demographic Aspects of Population Ageing and its Implications for Socio-Economic Development, Policies and Plans |
| Date : | From 29 Nov 2010 to 10 Dec 2010 |
The two programmes are aimed at discussing the implications of population ageing, underscore the importance of including ageing issues in a country’s development planning and discuss options for policy formulation and programme / services’ implementation. They also aim at providing a broad and up-to-date understanding of the complex and far-reaching consequences of mass longevity. Participants are helped to evolve and implement appropriate policies, which will ensure the quality of life and well-being of older persons in their own society.
Applications are invited from policy-makers and decision-makers in the field of Ageing as well as demographers in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors in developing countries. Candidates must also be fluent in the English Language.
The cost of each of these training programmes in Malta is estimated at US$2000 (which includes tuition and full board accommodation) excluding flight.
