Regional and Local Dimension of Demographic Aging of Silesia and the Concept of Active Aging in the Regional Senior Policy. Selected Aspects

Summary/Abstract: The unfavorable changes in the number and structure of the population, which have been observed in Poland for over three decades, follow in a slightly different pattern in Silesia, due to the phenomenon of hysteresis. Its impact, even though weaker, still gets reflected in the varying strength of individual factors causing interregional and, above all, intraregional diversification of the course of demographic phenomena and processes, exemplified by the process of demographic ageing of the population of voivodeships belonging to Silesia. Since demographic ageing has become a megatrend, generating multidimensional effects, occurring with varying intensity on a global and local scale, it has prompted many initiatives and actions that aim at active ageing at all levels: global, international, domestic, regional and local. The tool that was developed to assess them is active ageing index.
