Population aging will have as profound an impact on the developing world in the 21^st century as it has in the developed countries during the past hundred years. To meet the challenges of this aging world, new thinking will be needed-above all, ways to link strategies that protect expanding older populations with those promoting development. This seminar brings together academics, policymakers, and practitioners from a wide variety of backgrounds to consider some of the key questions posed by this context:

• How should the development debate be reframed in the context of aging in the developing world? What should development policies focus on in the new demographic order?
• How can social protections policies and poverty reduction strategies be more effectively integrated?
• Should the focus on support for older people in the developing world be widened beyond pensions and social security reform?
• How do overall economic and fiscal circumstances frame the construction of social protection issues? How can poverty reduction and social integration be made more central to economic and fiscal policymaking?
