Seniors and senior politics in public policy

Summary/Abstract: The considerations taken up relate to the important issue of the place of social policy towards seniors in public policy. The issue is also related to the sense of social security of older people in the social welfare system, because it is the only institution in Polish social policy that deals with or should deal with comprehensive assistance to the elderly. As a result of the research and analyzes received confirmation that the social support system gives a sense of security in terms of financial benefits, but does not satisfy all the needs of older people. Therefore, seniors strive to undertake various activities that will enable them to meet other needs consisting of a sense of social security. Therefore, older people look for areas of activity that both give satisfaction and a sense of being needed for others. In the era of aging, such activities should be undertaken in the form of programs or projects that will enable elderly people to maintain their independence and independence for as long as possible. And that means that public policy towards the elderly and old age should extend far beyond health protection and social assistance as areas oriented towards older people.
