Abstract

In this article, government policies on ageing in the CIS countries and Georgia (CIS+) are discussed. The implementation process of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Aging (MIPAA) from 2002 to 2012 was chosen as a framework for analyzing the government policy on ageing. The article begins with a concise overview of the demographic situation in the CIS+ countries, which belong to various stages of demographic transition. In conclusion, policy goals for implementing MIPAA during its third implementation cycle (2013–2017) are presented.
