SOCIETY, FAMILY AND EDUCATION ABOUT OLD AGE AND ELDERLY PEOPLE

Summary/Abstract: Serbian society has faced negative demographic trends such as depopulation and an increase in the number of elderly people for over decades. These demographic aspects of growth have multiple negative implications on trends in different aspects of society. Development policies of the Republic of Serbia seek to respond to different internal and external challenges: unresolved economic, social, cultural, security and many other issues, while neglecting the need to find the answer to the crucial challenge - rebuilding the population and creating a population policy that will provide civilizational and an achieved quality of life for the elderly persons. One of the mechanisms that can initiate progressive changes in the attitude towards old age and elderly people is institutionalized education at all levels, from primary to higher levels. Higher education in particular, by redesigning existing ones and introducing new study programs, can actively participate in the process of preparing new generations of young people that will respect old age and the elderly people.
