Preventing Ageing Unequally

This report examines how the two global mega-trends of population ageing and rising inequalities have been developing and interacting, both within and across generations.

It suggests a policy agenda to prevent, mitigate and cope with inequalities along the life course drawing on good practices in OECD countries and emerging economies.
