The International Federation on Ageing has launched a blog which aims to disseminate, analyze, and discuss the latest issues in the world of ageing by making several contributions per week. "While there are plenty of other resources that have a similar focus, this blog will distinguish itself by providing a fresh perspective on issues ranging from elder abuse, to gerontechnology, to the depiction of older adults in popular culture. We seek to accomplish this by providing dynamic written content and by examining issues through new, often unexplored lenses." See www.ifa-fiv.org/news/blog/ The IFA is an international non-government organisation which has been operating since 1973 "generating positive change for older people throughout the world by stimulating, collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on rights, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life of people as they age."
