Study on Elderly People as Resource in Society and Family

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the untapped potential of elderly individuals as vital resources within families and societies. Challenging the conventional notion of seniors as dependents, it delves into strategies for integrating them actively into social and community roles, resonating with the activity theory's emphasis on continued engagement. A thorough literature review reveals a significant gap in understanding the social, cultural needs, and leisure activities of retirees, crucial for enhancing their quality of life. Our study predominantly focuses on developing and successfully implementing activities that foster 'more active ageing', thereby keeping seniors engaged at both community and territorial levels for extended periods. This research not only redefines the role of the elderly but also provides practical solutions for their continued active participation, thereby enriching the fabric of society and family life.
