    This document discusses the roles and contributions of older people in society. It notes that as the world population ages, there is a better understanding of the relevance of aging and acceptance of older people's rights, though older people have not consistently benefited from development advances. The varied and complex nature of aging must be considered, taking into account factors such as health, family, socioeconomic status, and others. Older people are vital actors in communities due to their experience, knowledge, and abilities, and they contribute significantly especially in terms of economic development, unpaid care work, political participation, and social capital.
