International Cooperations of the Association for Women’s Career Development in Hungary (AWCDH) - AWCDH’s participation in research within the frameworks of COST Actions in the field of Ageing

Abstract

Demographic change affects almost all spheres of society, so we consider it one of our priorities to deal with the situation of older women, the largest and fastest growing group within the world's population, including Hungary. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs women comprise 54 percent of those aged over 60 globally, rising to 62 percent of those aged over 80 years.
