Regional Senior Policy as a New Public Policy
Regional Senior Policy as a New Public Policy

Summary/Abstract: Senior policy comprises a new public policy included in the strategic documents and conducted at a regional level as the local governments’ response to the changes in the voivodships’ demographic structure. Its development should be associated with the regional development policy. The aim of the following article is to place the senior policy in regional strategies for 2020–2025 as well as to assess its importance in local governments’ strategic activities based on the three types of documents – voivodship development strategie, social policies and programmes related to the aging of the society. The article employs the critical analysis of the relevant documents. The thesis statement, that in the light of the ongoing demographic aging processes local authorities assign a prominent role to both senior policy and designing diverse activities in response to the emerging challenges, found confirmation in the vast majority of the examined cases.
