The Commissioner for Older People, Claire Keatinge, recently (1 October 2014) launched a major report entitled Appreciating Age . It examines the economic value to contributions made by older people to highlight the positive roles they play across Northern Ireland. The report also considers the cost of older age-related spending, and subtracts these costs from the total contributions so as to give a true reflection of the net economic value older people bring to society.
