​1 . Promote age equality 

• Extend the existing EU legal framework on age discrimination beyond the field of employment. 
• ​​​​​Raise awareness on ageism by promoting initiatives to eliminate ageist practices and educational campaigns to dismiss stereotypes on older age. 
• Address the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination that people experience based on a combination of factors such as age, gender or disability, and the cumulative forms of discrimination that build up over time. 
• Gather and publish inclusive age-disaggregated data without age limits ​​to assess the potential impact of policies and programmes, to deliver effective policies and monitor their implementation. 
• Support the drafting of a United Nations convention on the rights of older persons that would ​​​​trigger legal reforms to prohibit age discrimination across every aspect of life. 

2. Foster ​​participation and active ageing

• Ensure meaningful involvement of older people in political participation, equal access to culture, justice, employment, life-long learning, and vocational training, including digital literacy.
• Guarantee older people full, affordable, and equal access to key essential services and goods like health and care services, food, housing, public transport, and banking services; maintain alternative options to digital services.
• Encourage approaches where transition between learning, working, family care, periods of unemployment, and retirement can take place seamlessly and at different ages.
• Promote intergenerational solidarity, including exchange of cultural, professional, technological knowledge and skills between younger and older people.

3. Ensure autonomy and well being

• Empower older workers for sustainable and quality working lives, by removing barriers such as mandatory retirement, tackling age discrimination in the labour market, and adapting the workplace for all ages.
• Secure adequacy of pensions and old-age minimum income schemes, address their erosion over time, to provide older people with financial security, allow them to cover their needs, and access adequate healthcare and housing, including by paying attention to the issues of cross border transferability and migration within the EU.
• Protect older people against all forms of abuse and violence, including financial exploitation, neglect, and isolation.
• Ensure autonomy, independence, participation, and inclusion of older people in long-term care; improve the quality and working conditions of formal carers in long-term services and support informal carers, including through adequate training.

• By working towards the adoption of an EU Age Equality Strategy⁴, to uphold human rights equally at all ages and address barriers that keep us from living fairly and freely when we are older.  
• ​​​By requesting a strong coordination between European Commission’s services whose work has a critical impact on ageing policies. This coordination shall be ensured by the Directorate General Justice and Consumers, responsible for equality. 
• By re-establishing the Intergroup on Ageing and Solidarity between Generations encouraging Members of the European Parliament to be champions for the rights of older persons.
