Headline Focus on the Elderly:  The World Assembly on Aging 
Caption Description Rising life expectancies and declining birth rates throughout the world are creating an increasing proportion of old people to young.  By the year 2000 there will be nearly 600 million people over 60 years old, twice the 1970 figure.  In the developing world, and to a lesser extent elsewhere, the traditional roles and support structures for the elderly are being eroded by rapid social and economic change.  Between 26 July and 6 August, 1982, a special UN-sponsored World Assembly on Aging will be held in Vienna to discuss the long-range future of the world's elderly.  Issues on the agenda include health, housing and the environment, social welfare, income security, education and the family, and the role of the elderly in development.
