- Abstract
In 2017, Slovenia adopted Active Ageing Strategy with the idea of catching up of Slovenia's 25 years lag behind other EU countries and keeping pace with them in addressing demographic challenges as the population ages. The first part of this government article places this document into Slovenian situation as well as in the global situation in the field of ageing. The requirement for development is the creative problem solving in the following areas: (1) humane, financial and personnel - sustainable long-term care, (2) healthy ageing of older persons, (3) a prosperous economy, taking into account ageing of the personnel and (4) training the whole population for new solidarity between generations. The second part of the article summarizes the content of the Active Ageing Strategy. The third part analyses three of its merits: a realistic overview of the situation, clear economic and structural tasks, and dialogical openness. The last part of the article shows three (self) limitations of the adopted Strategy: it considers only economic, material and structural factors in solving tasks in an ageing population, but excludes the anthropological resources that are crucial in solving any major crisis task in the community. Considering that the Strategy has not raised any significant response in the Slovenian professional, media and general public so far, and that the Government has not yet adopted the envisaged action plans, the purpose of the article is to help with two of its explicit wishes: to raise public awareness and complement it.
