Summary/Abstract: The aging of the population which is currently shared by most European countries entails significant socio-economic consequences. It represents both a challenge for the public authorities, which must develop and implement appropriate policies to ensure the smooth functioning of society and the economy both at global, national and regional levels. The purpose of this article is to answer the question whether the problem is perceived in Poland at the regional level and if any actions are connected with it. The article therefore analyzes the key strategic documents of selected Polish voivodeships (Małopolskie, Podkarpackie, Śląskie, Świętokrzyskie) from the point of view of interest of the subject matter and proposed solutions.
