Applying an Equity Lens in Age-friendly Communities Planning
Age-friendly Communities intentionally plan to reduce inequities faced by older adults. The older adult population is a diverse group, and intersecting identities contribute to unique experiences and needs. Policies, programs and services must be developed in partnership with—and respond to the needs of—population groups most impacted by systemic inequities.
