Contemporary social problems include the aging process and the growing elderly population. The consequences of these phenomena are individual and social in nature. They define the image of Polish society (decreasing population, decreasing fertility rates, the increasing number of elderly people, the decreasing number of children, adolescents and people of working age). They present a challenge on the one hand to the government – how to organize help and care for seniors – and, on the other hand, to the seniors themselves and their families – how to improve the quality of their lives.
The article discusses the aging process of the society, a description of a Polish senior citizen, and a family policy actions aiming at supporting and activation of the elderly.
