The #IntergenerationalForum is launched! Yesterday, we took a step further - the ageing of society and the questions it raises policies from social protection to care on one side and the conditions for younger people to thrive demands that we stop talking in silos. The Forum shall reduce these.

Dr Mollenkopf, @ageplatformeu.bsky.social president reminds how our societies were ground to a halt five years ago because of lack of preparedness to the #covid19 pandemic, when hundreds of thousands preventable deaths made an important toll especially among older persons.

'Longevity is an achievementbut also a responsibility', says @michalszczerba.bsky.social. We need to support life-long learning, secure pensions and healthcare. Ageing is often framed as a burden and that must change.

Maciej Kucharczyk of @ageplatformeu.bsky.social: projections of how old age is creates expectations. Young people of today will be older, and if we do not invest into making ageing a positive experience today they will be left with a negative image about their own ageing

Researcher @adelinacohe.bsky.social looks at the new risks linked to ageing: care and loneliness, and the fear of being a burden to your children. The Observatory of Long-Term Care was founded after COVID and found that the fragmentation of care systems is a widespread problem

Ms Ivankovic of DG EMPL emphasises that we might not invest enough into ageing. Are we training older persons, retired or not? Are we providing sufficient care?

Ms Mendía emphasises that population #ageing is underway and needs the adaptation and coordination of policies. The Care Strategy, the Commission's work on loneliness and the Demography Toolbox are good starts for this.

MEP Idoia Mendia highlighted there are new profiles of ageing, and we are late to adapt to them. Despite difficult majorities, it is important to find agreement for a strategy on age and a more ambitious Disability Strategy

Nena Georgantzi of @ageplatformeu.bsky.social: The EU’s #DisabilityStrategy could better include ageing and persons acquiring a disability in older age. Older people who are unable to use an important online app can be put under guardianship and diminished in their rights. #DigitalExclusion
