Ageing Population – A Threat Or A Challenge?
Abstract
Ageing population is often taken as a threat for prosperity of the economy and society as a whole. Changing population structure leads to necessary changes in many fields of life. There are many examples of solving the problem of ageing by providing special goods and services, doing structural changes in industries and employment, and so to take ageing as a challenge for future development. The group of seniors is very diversified and so diverse must be also activities that satisfy needs and wishes of older people. There is a source of social harmony and welfare of the society.References
