It presents policy examples from the UNECE region addressing the situation of vulnerable older persons, with a focus on income and housing, health and long-term care, prevention of violence, abuse and neglect, and social participation. The brief also highlights several ongoing crises putting older persons at increased risk of vulnerability, including the costs-of-living crisis, the war in Ukraine and loneliness and social isolation.
