Review Quotes:
"Formosa and Shankardass have done ageing scholars a superb service by commemorating the 20th anniversary of the MIPAA with this timely volume. Despite the variable demographic structures observed across the globe, Formosa and Shankardass succeeded in bringing to the forefront the progress and challenges associated with developing ageing policies worldwide."
Shereen Hussein, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
"It is challenging to cover every world's region, let alone successfully convince busy renowned experts to contribute and critically assess not only their country but also their neighbours. Nevertheless, Formosa and Shankardass' book has successfully reviewed the implementation extent of the MIPAA globally on its 20th Anniversary. A monumental achievement!"
Gerald C H Koh, National University of Singapore
"This book provides important reflections on 20 years of MIPAA. While some countries have made more important strides than others in improving the lives of older persons, the COVID pandemic exposed the urgent need for a United Nations Convention to promote and protect human rights in old age and accountability by all governments."
Silvia Perel-Levin, Chair, Subcommittee on the Human Rights of Older Persons, Geneva NGO Committee on Ageing
