EPRC has joined forces with the Committee of the Regions, Age Concern England and AGE, the European Older People's Platform, to produce a guide to help local and regional authorities cope with the impact of demographic change and an increasingly ageing society.
Martin Ferry co-authored the 'age proofing toolkit' which will be launched in Brussels on 25 January at a European Commission conference aimed at increasing awareness about demographic change and helping regions and cities to identify effective policy responses.
The toolkit, available in print and download versions in several EU languages, is based around five themes: general trends and indicators, regional economies, regional development, regional infrastructure and regional governance.
