The international social agenda

The Latin American and Caribbean Symposium on Older Persons was held in 1999 as a regional activity in preparation for the International Year of Older Persons. In the year 2000 so far, two regional meetings have been held to carry out a mid–decade appraisal of the situation with regard to social development (Second Regional Conference in Follow–up to the World Summit for Social Development) and women (eighth session of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean). At the twenty–eighth session of ECLAC, held in Mexico City, a report on the work carried out to date was reviewed, and the new ECLAC programme of work was adopted.
