AARP creates 'AgeSources Worldwide' - A new online database of key information and resources focused on aging.

AgeSource Worldwide identifies several hundred information resources in some 25 countries which are significant either in size or in their unique coverage of particular aging related issues. The resources include among others clearinghouses libraries, databases, training materials, major reports and Web metasites.

AgeStats Worldwide provides access to statistical data that compare the situation of older adults across countries or regions around a variety of issues such as demography, pensions, health and long-term care. The most recent data and projections as far ahead as 2060 are provided, where available.

You may search either or both databases at one time. Access is free of charge.

AgeSource and AgeStats Worldwide have been created by AARP to facilitate the international exchange of policy and program, relevant information in aging.
