DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES OF POPULATION AGEING: ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

Population aging is a natural demographic process that entails serious changes in society: social factors are becoming more important, and the biological imperatives of human survival are receding into the background. The labor market, human resources services and the state face the problem of effective and comfortable employment of older people. An increase in the proportion of older people in the population can lead to intergenerational conflicts, since many social norms and rules were formed at a time when life expectancy was lower. Conservative trends in social development are increasing with the quantitative growth of the elderly population.
