- Title
Kommunen im demographischen Wandel.
- Authors
Naegele, G.
- Abstract
Demographic change and, especially, aging of the population are affecting municipalities and have led to a variety of new challenges for social policies for the elderly at the local level. However, the new needs and demands do not only refer to the traditional concepts concerning social help and welfare for the elderly, but also refer to the entire social life-situation for senior citizens. Against this background, a restructuring of local social policies for an aging population and for social policy concepts that strategically aim at addressing all social needs and demands in later life is advocated. The goal should be the social arrangement of the overall living conditions of an aging population at the local level.
