The 25th of all EU-r rights: older people and how the Charter contributes
Are you old? Am I? One of my former bosses used to say that age is nothing more than a social construct. My scepticism toward this thesis is becoming increasingly evidence-based, as I now struggle to crawl out of bed after a visit to the fitness centre with my fifteen-year-old sons. I will therefore observe with interest whether-and how- the forthcoming UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons will explicitly draw a line between those who are officially considered "old" and those who are not (yet).[^1]
