Adult educators need to understand the educational needs of such a rapidly growing population. Although many leaders in the adult education sector have discussed this issue, there is little comprehensive information about the global spectrum of current educational needs and practices for this population. In order to understand these contemporary global practices, a representative global organization was studied regarding their activities on this issue. A purposeful qualitative sample of 163 cases addressing the contemporary multi-sector educational needs of the elderly was identified from the 3159 presentation abstracts published in the proceedings of The 2001 17^<th> International Association of Gerontology World Congress (now International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics). The authors concentrated on assessing abstracts of presentations by authors from the East Asia Forum on Adult Education (EAFAE) membership countries and special administrative regions (SAR) versus the remaining regions of the world. EAFAE's membership includes China, Hong Kong S.A.R., Japan, Korea, Macau S.A.R., Singapore, and Taiwan.
