Poor older people across the Asia Pacific region have long been worried about poverty and poor health. Reductions in support provided by the traditional extended family, and the impacts of HIV/AIDS and emergencies, are more recent concerns. Two underlying issues are social, political and economic exclusion, and gender biases. Poor older people are excluded by design or by default from a range of programmes.
