The report aims to help ITU members and other stakeholders to understand the digital opportunities and take advantage of new possibilities of economic, social and political growth for societies as a result of increasing digital inclusion and the creation of age-friendly digital environments. It highlights trends, identifies good practices and possible solutions, and presents concrete guidelines that can leverage the contributions of older generations, reduce their vulnerability and foster socio-economic development to achieve healthier and wealthier inclusive societies. It focuses on the role that Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) can play in ensuring digitally inclusive communities where older persons are active participants.
