Servicio Estatal de Atención a Personas Mayores (SEAM). Informe de resultados 2024

The 2024 SEAM report, prepared by HelpAge International Spain, presents the results of the State Service for the Care of Older People (SEAM) during 2024. Its main objective is to offer information and assistance to older people facing age discrimination. The report highlights the increase in inquiries about ageism, abuse, and barriers to accessing rights and services. Problems are evident in the social, healthcare, and employment spheres, with particular concern about the lack of protection against abuse and the digital divide. The report concludes with recommendations to improve the inclusion and respect for the rights of older people, advocating for a human rights-based approach and a cultural shift to combat ageism.
