Abstract:The international community's understanding of population aging as a gender issue has gradually deepened along with the process of increasing globalization. In the last few decades, the recognition of older women as a special group and gender-based differences in aging has been adopted by development interventions and increasingly incorporated in the international policy framework, which has been made widely known by a series of global conferences. The mid-1990s witnessed marked changes in international policy discourses and policy interventions. Due to the impacts of globalization, the policy responses at the international level have shifted from focusing narrowly on individual well-being in developed countries to paying attention to vulnerabilities among women throughout their life cycle in the whole world, promoting a rights-based approach to aging. This paper examines the changes in international policies on aging under globalization from a gender perspective.
