Summary/Abstract: The process of intensive ageing of the population of Vojvodina, present for a long time, and specially the problems and changes in contemporary family in Vojvodina, require and need a well designed comprehensive program – based on the needs of the old persons – to solve the basic social-protection problems of the population of old persons, specially the struggle for a quality life at old age. On the one hand, such an attitude implies equal significance of prevention – so that old persons do not find themselves in a situation needing social support – as well as protection when they do get in such a situation; on the other hand, it implies ensuring a full confirmation of the concept of the active old age. At the same time, such an approach requires the development of all forms of social protection and an active participation and cooperation of all subjects in the society.
