Title:

Dignity and the older European: policy recommendations.

Reference:

Quality in Ageing: Policy Practice and Research, 6(2), July 2005, pp.17-20.

Abstract:

The Dignity and Older Europeans Research Group had produced a series of recommendations on policy.  The policy recommendations are inspired by the data gathered from focus groups, as well as by the theoretical reflections on the concept of 'dignity'.  This article introduces four core policy recommendations.  The first reflects the rights of the older person, the second calls for the removal of ageism and ageist practices, the third concerns the regulatory frameworks needs in service provision and the fourth reflects the welfare entitlements of older people.
