This is one of a series of OECD country reports which review the main barriers to employment for older people, assess the effectiveness of existing measures to overcome these barriers and make policy recommendations for further action in the light of population ageing trends. This publication focuses on the situation in Canada, where although population ageing is occurring less rapidly than in many other OECD countries, the old-age dependency ratio is projected to rise from 20 per cent in 2004 to just over 45 per cent by 2050.

The Geneva Health Forum is the forum that brings together key actors of Global Health. Created in 2006, and held every two years ever since, it is organized by the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) and the University of Geneva in partnership with 30 global health organizations. Building on the dynamic of International Geneva, the Geneva Health Forum is one of the most important international global health conferences. The overall objective of the Geneva Health Forum is to contribute to the improvement of health and access to health care in the world. To achieve this goal, it aims to give visibility to innovative field experiences and to establish a critical and constructive dialogue between global health actors from different sectors, as well as to foster collaborations between them. At each edition, the Geneva Health Forum gives an important place to the presentation of research projects. Research, whether carried out by students or established researchers, contributes to innovation and new practices in access to care. The synthesis of research results in the form of a poster remains a quality exercise. Electronic dissemination offers new opportunities to meet a wider audience. Favoring a multidisciplinary approach, the GHF is open to all professions working in the health field. From 16 to 18 November 2020, the eighth edition of the Geneva Health Forum, which took place in the difficult context of the Covid 19 pandemic, hosted 165 posters. The present collection offers through 65 posters a wide range of topics discussed. We look forward to seeing you at the next edition of the GHF, which will take place from 3 to 5 May 2022.
