Abstract Rapid socioeconomic change, along with the demographic and epidemiological transition in Asia, has necessitated policy responses to meet the challenge of strengthening and sustaining family and community networks, social security mechanisms, healthcare strategies and long-term care provisions which provide support to older generations and contribute towards improving their quality of life, as well as enhancing the opportunities for using the reservoir of the growing number of older persons' experience and knowledge. Yet only a few countries in Asia have developed comprehensive plans for policy and action with a longterm view to respond to the growing and emergent needs of older people through political will, appropriate initiatives and legislative measures in recognising and addressing the unmet needs of older people. Nonetheless, many countries have developed specific policies and programmes to address special aspects for meeting the challenges of ageing population. The extant policies, practices and models of services and programmes developed by these countries can serve as models for others to adopt. In this paper, the policies of selected countries have been synthesised to highlight their relevance for India.

Abstract Internet-based, mobile and pervasive technologies provide the means for older people to establish and maintain intergenerational relationships over long distances. However the significance of this intergenerational context has been largely ignored when considering potential interactions and the design of new technologies. This workshop aims to explore what the important issues are when considering intergenerational contact as a significant context for design. The overarching objective of this workshop is to identify key research themes in respect of intergenerational communication and its implications for the design of interactive systems.

policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.
