Annual United Nations observance for older people
The World Senior Citizen's Day is celebrated on 21 August each year.[1]
The celebration took place for the first time in 1991.[2][3] The day is intended to increase awareness of the factors and issues that affect older adults, such as health deterioration and elder abuse. It is also a day to recognize and acknowledge the contributions of older people to society.[4][5]
