How does the 50+ population factor as a political force around the world? What issues matter most to these individuals? And how might this political power be managed or waged in upcoming elections?

Experts discussed what's at stake and how the politics of aging could make the difference in this second of three AARP - Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars co-sponsored programs on global aging.
