- Abstract
Purpose: the main objective of the article is to support building sustainable development of spa towns by protecting their unique resources. Design/methodology: the theses presented in the article were verified using: critical analysis of literature, document analysis, descriptive statistical analysis. Findings: on the basis of the article it can be concluded that demographic change is an important challenge for numerous areas of public policy, such as family, health care, labour market, social security, education and active leisure. The identified challenges and areas of their impact are part of a broader spectrum of reflection that should focus on a holistic approach to active policies, which are a key determinant of human capital – in which, as forecasts indicate, by 2050 people over sixty-five years of age may constitute 20% of the total population of Europe. Originality: the article enriches knowledge and develops discussion on demographic changes and the resulting great contemporary challenge for environment, institutions and people creating the future of the studied areas, which may turn out to be maintaining the professional activity of the ageing population while building modern active social and labour market policies – corresponding to the economic structure of the studied areas.
