Modern fields of scientific and practical studies in the field of the policy of active and healthy longevity: Experience and perspectives

详细

Modern terminology on active and healthy aging used in scientific and project activities is discussed. The active longevity policy, which has no precise, universally agreed definition, and its main determinants are analyzed based on the WHO concept. The paper presents the fields of scientific expertise in the major European projects, INNOGAVE on the assessment of potentially profitable social innovations relating to the improvement of welfare and quality of life and health in old age and MOPACT on the study of the mutual influence of the demographic development and main dimensions of economic and social contribution of elderly people. Emphasis is placed on an approach to implement the policy of active and healthy longevity as a valuable asset in the modern society.
