Latin America and the Caribbean is the fastest ageing region in the world. This creates opportunities to improve the quality of life of older adults, create new jobs for caregivers, promote gender equity and reduce healthcare costs, among others. At the same time, it brings with it important challenges, including the need for financial protection (pensions), and access to quality health services and support for people with functional dependency.

This event will bring together experts from different parts of the world and IDB specialists to learn about and debate four crucial issues in the design and implementation of a system of care for dependency: Who to provide care for dependency, what services to provide, how to ensure the quality of care, and how to finance the system, among other issues. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss the role of technology in the area of care, among other topics. Closed event, by invitation only.
