Design for all,
For administrations

1. Occidental populations are rapidly ageing and this supposes that, either governments must create a great number of assistance services, or must ensure that older people can live independently and longer, that is to say, that transport, businesses, official buildings, the means of communication, consumer products and housing can be used by people that currently have problems interacting with them.

2. The possibility of creating special products for every sector of the affected population (furniture and domestic appliances for older people, special technical help for different activities, etc.) apart from being discriminatory, it means high costs.

3. Experience has shown us that products or services have been developed, with people with disabilities in mind (remote controls, low-floor buses, etc), their use has become more widespread and has meant them being more useful and comfortable for the majority of the population.

4. Applying Design for All means a generation of products that satisfy the user more during longer periods and, therefore, lengthening product life and reducing energy costs and the production of waste, strengthening its ecological policies.
