Women’s Rights are Human Rights are Elderly Rights | European External Action Service Ambassadors’ Conference in Brussels | Von der Leyen on the Virtues and Risks of Hyperglobalization

The volume of global trade has doubled since the turn of the century. Within regional blocks and between them, says Von der Leyen.

Women’s Rights are Human Rights are Elderly Rights

Repeat after me on an infinite loop.

Opportunities for smartphones manufacturers to support the elderly?

Who knew? :-)

A bonus episode with Claudia Mahler, UN Independent Rapporteur on the Rights of the Elderly, on the impact of social media platforms in developing countries.

Biases on employment in these platforms, and the very much arbitrary and unlawful ways that tech companies design their algorithms and discriminate older workers in the labour market, by just showing certain jobs to the 25 to 35 years old, for example.

We also spoke about the ways that the vulnerable elderly can access social services in developing countries when given adequate technologies, from smartphones that work to websites designed with the end-user in mind.
