It develops a new conceptual approach and uses various indicators for its assessment in the areas of social security, health and social services. All human beings must be able to avail themselves of equal rights, without discrimination, and these rights must be enforced through serious, strategic and sustainable commitments which accommodate both present and long-term challenges. Only then will it be possible to develop an approach which includes each and every citizen and contributes to their well-being and security, so that they can make full use of their capacities, regardless of their age or economic activity.Ageing, Solidarity and Social Protection in Latin America and the CaribbeanDemographyOlder peopleLatin americaCaribbean areaSocial scienceLawBusiness & economicsUnited Nations,othBOOK9910134010803321Ageing, Solidarity and Social Protection in Latin America and the Caribbean : Time for Progress Towards Equality3598623UNINA
