Employing demographic, philosophical, legal, psychological, gerontological perspectives, it emphasises activities that can support older adults locally or nationwide and proposes the development of a social policy and social attitudes that can facilitate changes in the social perception of aging, together with a redistribution of resources for older adults. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in ageing and the lifecourse, as well as those who wish to support older adults with concrete solutions and familiarize themselves with the aging process from an individual and social perspective.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aAge groups: the elderly2bicssc 7aSociology2bicssc  aageing; ageing research; aging; death and dying; elderly; experiences; gerontology; interdisciplinary study; later life; local initiatives; methodology; Poland; qualitative research; quantitative research; resources; social attitudes; social care; social factors; social policy; sociology0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/7497070zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92674d92674
