Evaluation of the way in which local authorities realize a locally inclusive policy for the elderly, in which the participation of (vulnerable) elderly people in society is guaranteed (SWVG MJP1 EF01)

Article 10 of the Decree on the promotion of an inclusive Flemish policy on the elderly and the policy participation of the elderly of 7 December 2012 explicitly asks to make an evaluation by the end of the third year after the entry into force of the Decree on the way in which the local achieve an inclusive local policy on the elderly and guarantee the participation of the elderly in this. To date, this evaluation has not yet been carried out, and with this research we want to contribute to this. More specifically, the research results will provide insight into:

1. The extent to which, and the way in which, Flemish local authorities pursue an inclusive local policy for the elderly.

2. The extent to which, and the way in which, older people participate in local policy. In addition, we want to formulate a number of policy recommendations based on the research results for local authorities to further work on an inclusive and accessible environment in their municipality, where active aging is promoted. In all of this, of course, we also pay attention to the specific situation of vulnerable elderly people (health situation, socio-economic position, etc.).
