  Smart, adaptable and inclusive solutions can help improve and support independent life throughout the course of life, regardless of age, gender, disabilities, cultural differences and personal choices.
  A holistic approach that optimizes social and physical environments, supported by digital tools and services, allows to provide better health and social care, promoting not only independent living, but also equity and active participation in society. This approach follows the United Nations' line-up, with the Sustainable Development Goals (in particular Objectives 3 and 11), stating that sustainable environments for all ages represent the basis for ensuring a better future for the entire population.
  The challenges of different sectors, such as ICT, the building industry and urban planning and the health and social care, as well as those of citizens and their communities are interlinked. Responding to these challenges will foster awareness and support for the creation and implementation of smart, healthy and inclusive environments for present and future generations.
  From this insight, a new concept was developed and well received: Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE). The by the EC approved Thematic Network of 2018 evolved into a Stakeholders Network of about 170 organisations and it is represented in several European projects and networks. COST Action NET4Age-Friendly brings together over 320 researchers from 46 countries. Capacity building to support the implementation of SHAFE is present in Erasmus+ projects.

  The presentation will give an overview of relevant development and insights to support the building of smart, inclusive societies.

  Az AGE Barometer 2023-as kiadását az Age Platform Europe jegyzi, melynek célja az európai statisztikákból és nemzeti szintű forrásokból származó adatok szintézise, és 19 európai ország, köztük Magyarország országszintű részletes adatainak elemzésén alapuló kritikák megfogalmazása és a tagországok jó gyakorlatainak bemutatása. A kiadvány legfontosabb célja az idősebbek munkaerő-piaci szerepvállalásának erősítése, valamint a fenntartható és minőségi munkával töltött élet elősegítése. A Barométerből kiderül, hogy az Európai Unió (EU) messze van attól, hogy elérje a 20 és 64 év közötti felnőttek 78%-os foglalkoztatottsági célját, a jelenlegi állapot 62,3%. Ennek okai az idősebbek munkaerő-piaci integrációjának különböző akadályai lehetnek, amelyek közé tartoznak a nem megfelelő támogató politikák, az ageizmus és a kedvezőtlen munkahelyi feltételek. Az eredmények mélyebb elemzése, különös tekintettel egy-egy ország, például a Magyarország-I adatok elemzése fontos lehet abban, hogy jobban megértsük az eredmények nemzeti és helyi kereteit, és hogy meghatározzuk az idősek munkaerő-piaci integrációját elősegítő politikákat és programokat, és azonosíthassuk a hiányosságokat. Jelen írás különböző módszerek - kritikai elemzés, irodalmi és szakirodalmi áttekintés, valamint tematikus elemzés - alkalmazásával vizsgálta a Barométert és más releváns forrásokat.

  Ageing society is a reality for many people in developing countries than in the past. Governments are facing major challenges in safeguarding the mental health of older people and health care systems to deal with this demographic shift. The mental health of older people is an important indicator of the level of their health-related quality of life.  The situation of older people in Africa, concerning their mental health and well-being, is a matter of growing attention among researchers and policymakers alike. There is a common perception in connection with the aged population reporting poor mental health status and a greater need for healthcare. However, there is few research on the disparities of older people relating to healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Botswana. There is a tendence of ever-increasing number and population proportions of older people representing both opportunities and challenges. Some of these challenges include the prevention and management of anxiety, depression, and somatization, which are the most common mental disorders in primary health care the world over. Previous research has shown that the three disorders are highly comorbid because of the need for prevention and mitigation of all three.

  This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges confronting the elderly population in the Philippines, focusing on economic insecurity, healthcare accessibility, social isolation, and the socio-cultural context of aging. While the elderly population remains smaller in proportion compared to other Southeast Asian nations—growing from 2.7% in 1990 to a projected 7.7% by 2025—this demographic shift brings significant implications. The increase in the aged dependency ratio, expected to double from 5.5 elderly per 100 working-age persons in 1990 to 10.5 by 2025, reflects the pressures on younger generations to support an aging population.

  Rapidly changing time is a problem: are we able to deal with all challenges in a humanistic and peaceful way? Is it possible? Do falling barriers to trade have led to a rapid change in social life and in the movement of products and labor? With these exciting transformations also came great challenges and threats, at a time when we seem to like each other less and less, with partisan affective polarization on the rise in a country after country.
  The paper presents definitions of phenomenon of marginalization and exclusion from European perspective. The main idea of its lecture and planned project is the presentation the intervention program among seniors based on heritage of work the French Research Committee on Violence, Crime and Delinquency, who published 40 years ago a document Society against Violence. The document contained analyses on the occurrence of social problems and their determinants, as well as guidelines to reduce risks and reduce the sense of threat and insecurity in modern society. Based on the conclusion included into Report “Society against Violence” the special training was prepared. The theoretical assumption of the project is Levinian model of changes in society and his methodology of action research. The aims of program are to change attitudes in the field of knowledge and attitudes towards the used violence and to improve the skills to react in situations of confrontation with institutional or press aggression or the so-called manifestations of "hate speech" in education institutions. Because of Coronavirus lockdown only idea and first step of implementation (the realisation was stopped) is possible to presentation.

  Maybe the program is in a primary stage but we believe that modern societies should relay and based on the idea of Human Rights and spread them elsewhere and that violence in modern societies should be reduced by human rights and democracy education.
  The document became the basis for the reflection on public debate on violence in international communities and psychological practice against violence in interpersonal and social meaning. The article presents the possible directions of research and psychological interventions in this area especially among seniors. This perspective is worth to be underlined because it is a part of wider trend in preparation social support programmes focused on inclusion adults from a difficult sociocultural environment. Such programmes could improve competencies to protect social capital of societies. The content and scope of these programmes should be drawn from knowledge of the relationships between the various risk factors, protective factors and developmental processes in groups and societies and combine knowledge, practical useful skills and good psychological experience by continue containing with life.

  Although rates of Covid-19 infection are lower for older adults, the mortality rates are higher than all other ages. While the health challenges are evident, the mental health effects of the pandemic are less evident. The term “compassionate ageism” has been used to describe protection of all older adults as vulnerable groups, however it overlooks individual factors that may mitigate risk and enhance mental health aspects of coping with the realities of the pandemic. Isolation and separation from families and once enjoyed activities, whether residing in their own homes or long-term care facilities, has taken an immeasurable physical and mental health toll on older adults. Safety and security for mental health as well as physical health must be considered in any strategy to try mitigate the effects on the quality of life of older adults during this critical time in our history.

  A szociális szolgáltatásokhoz való korlátozott hozzáférés (például a nagy földrajzi távolságból adódóan) az idősebb személyeket még kiszolgáltatottabbá teheti. Ez a tanulmány a Fülöp-szigetek Kalinga tartományának Tinglayan településén élő Apo Whang-od és közösségének, Buscalannak az esetét felhasználva vizsgálja az idősek demográfiai helyzetét, a szociális szolgáltatások igénybe vételének lehetőségeit, a hagyományok és a helyi kultúra szerepét, valamint a vidéki területeken élő idősek előtt álló sajátos kihívásokat és az azokra adott válaszokat. Kevert módszertani megközelítést alkalmazva a tanulmány feltárta, hogy Tinglayan lakosságának közel 11%-a idős, többnyire őslakos, viszonylag alacsony írástudási aránnyal rendelkező, alacsony jövedelmű személy, akik főként önellátó gazdálkodást és hagyományos kézműipari tevékenységet folytatnak. Kormányzati programok és a kormányzat kínálta szolgáltatások is léteznek; az ezekhez való hozzáférést azonban megnehezíti az oktatáshoz és az egészségügyi szolgáltatásokhoz való korlátozott hozzáférés, a nagy földrajzi távolságok, a hiányzó tömegközlekedés és az ebből fakadó korlátozott mobilitás. Jelentősek a pénzügyi nehézségek is, mivel nem, vagy csak kevesen jutnak hozzá a társadalombiztosítási ellátásokhoz és a megélhetést biztosító nyugdíjakhoz. A kihívások a kedvezőtlen földrajzi elhelyezkedésnek, a szomszédos törzsekkel való konfliktusoknak, a korlátozott helyi önkormányzati forrásoknak, az ismeretek hiányának és a településen belüli nem megfelelő szociális szolgáltató központoknak is tulajdoníthatók. Tinglayan kulturális értékei kulcsfontosságú szerepet játszanak a szűkös szociális szolgáltatások kiegészítésében azáltal, hogy támogató légkört teremtenek az idősek számára. A törzs világhírnevet szerzett tagja Apo-Whag-od hosszú életét elemezve kiderült, hogy azért élt hosszabb életet, mert organikus és helyi eredetű élelmiszereket fogyasztott, jól aludt, sokat nevetett, rendszeresen testmozgást végzett, ápolta lelki jóllétét, erős kapcsolatokat épített ki családjával és közösségével, és mindvégig pozitív szemléletű maradt.

• The correlations of resilience of the geriatric population in Botswana: A cross sectional study

  According to Botswana's Current statistics for 2021, people aged 60 and above would make up 8.9% of the population. As people age, they face a plethora of challenges; mental, legal, social, health, economic, environmental, and political, in addition to ageism and marginalization. Therefore, they need resilience to deal with these challenges that emanate from the aging process, the development of care needs, and the depletion of resources. However, in Africa, there is anecdotal evidence that some older people cannot cope with their lives, let alone carer responsibilities caused by HIV related death and other risk factors. For older people to flourish, they need resilience to achieve, endure, develop and sustain their health and well-being in the face of adversity. The degree of success and impact on their resilience is undocumented. The research will therefore determine the correlates with resilience and establish ways to curb the risk factors.

  This exploratory study delves into the motivational factors driving economic engagement among the elderly in rural areas of Laos, a nation in Southeast Asia experiencing demographic shifts towards an aging population. With limited research on this topic in the context of rural Laos, this study aims to uncover the underlying motivations that influence elderly individuals to participate in economic activities. By understanding these factors, policymakers can design targeted interventions to promote economic inclusion and improve the well-being of the elderly population. However, the study also uncovers barriers and challenges faced by elderly individuals, such as limited access to resources, skills, and infrastructure. Recommendations are provided to address these challenges and enhance support systems.

  Az elmúlt évszázadban az egészségügy és az életmód terén bekövetkezett hatalmas fejlődésnek köszönhetően az átlagéletkor megnőtt. Bár a hosszú élet fontos vívmánya a modern kornak, kihívást jelent az egyre idősödő népesség gondozása szempontjából. Mivel a világ leggazdagabb részein az emberek hosszabb életet élnek, egyre nagyobb hiány mutatkozik az idősödő népesség gondozóiból. A tanulmányban a szakirodalom áttekintése alapján ismertetik a szerzők az ápolás globális kihívásait, az idősgondozás jövőbeni kérdéseit, a robotizáció megjelenését az ápolás területén, illetve azt, hogy mindez hogyan járulhat hozzá az idősek ellátásának minőségjavításához.

  Introduction
  The subject of the sense of psychological well-being in people in late adulthood and its determinants has been of great interest for several dozen years among researchers and broad social groups, including people of senior age.
  Aims
  The aim of the presented research was to explain the relationship between coping with life challenges, which are developmental tasks culturally assigned to successive periods of adult life, and the sense of well-being in the last period of life. The study also drew attention to the importance of selected socio-demographic variables for the sense of well-being of people in late adulthood, namely gender, age, level of education, family situation and material (financial) condition. In line with the positive psychology approach, these factors were expected to be of limited importance for the sense of well-being.
  Methodology
  155 people aged over 65 (late adulthood) took part in the study, 53% of whom were men and 47% of women. The author's questionnaire was used to examine satisfaction with the implementation of developmental tasks (Liberska, 2019), the Mental Wellbeing Questionnaire (L.Wojciechowska, 2008) and a questionnaire collecting basic sociodemographic data. The analysis of the research results showed significant relationships between the implementation of developmental tasks and the sense of well-being. Age of the respondents did not differentiate the sense of well-being.
  Conclusion
  People's sense of well-being in late adulthood is related to coping with developmental tasks in adult life and the current family and economic situation.
  1. the results of the statistical analysis did not show statistically significant differences between men and women in the level of psychological well-being: t (152) = -0,63, p = 0,52 (women – M = 87,25, SD = 12,73; men – M = 88,52, SD = 12).
  2. people with higher education had a higher level of the general indicator of the sense of well-being than people with secondary (Z=-2.04, p=0.041), vocational (Z=-3.52, p=0.001) and primary education (Z=-3.22, p=0.01)
  3. financial status differentiates the sense of well-being of people in late adulthood: people with good economic status have a higher sense of well-being than people with average status (Z = -3.23, p = 0.001) and below average (Z = -2.03; p = 0.043)
  4. the results of the statistical analysis showed that people with different marital status differ in the level of mental well-being: married people in late adulthood have a significantly higher level of mental well-being than widowed people (Z=-3.18, p=0.001).
  5. among the six dimensions that create mental well-being, the highest value was obtained on the self-acceptance subscale; ANOVA shows significant differences between the subscales of the sense of well-being; F= 7829,05; p< 0,001; η2=0,99).
  Generally, this result confirms the importance of self-acceptance for the general psychosocial condition of a person (see Ryff, 1989).

  A demográfiai öregedés kihívásaival az Európai Unió minden tagállamának szembe kell néznie. Ha a tagállamok demográfiai jellemzőit tekintjük, látható, hogy nincsenek lényegi eltérések sem az időskorúak jelenlegi arányában, sem pedig e ráták várható jövőbeni alakulásában. A demográfiai és társadalmi öregedés a jóléti rezsimek több területét is érinti, de ezek közül általában az egészségügyi és nyugdíjrendszert és a személyes szolgáltatásokat szokták a középpontba helyezni. A tanulmány a személyes szolgáltatások egy speciális területével foglakozik, mely ma a legtöbb posztkommunista országban éppoly új, mint amilyen régi: ez a család által végzett gondozás s ennek támogatása. A tanulmány kitér a családi gondozók támogatásával kapcsolatos jóléti politikák ismertetésére, megvizsgálja a tagállamok gondozási politikájának rendszerezési kísérleteit, elemzi a közelmúltbeli és jelenleg érzékelhető gondozáspolitikai folyamatokat, ideológiákat, s végül kitér a volt kommunista országok sajátságos helyzetére, majd bemutatja Magyarország a családi gondozással kapcsolatos gondozáspolitikáját. Az esszé alapgondolata, hogy a demográfiai kihívások ugyan hasonlók, de a szolgáltatás politika, az intézményi rendszerek fejlettsége komoly eltéréseket mutat országonként. Az országok fejletlen intézményes szolgáltató rendszerei mellett a gondozó családtagokat támogató eszközöknek pedig igencsak híján vannak a posztkommunista tagállamok.

  Caring for the elderly is a challenge for any society even if it is a family or institution related issue (Bánlaki 2006). Numerous researches on the care of the elderly have been published, which help to make the care of the elderly as effective as possible (Djellal, Gallouj 2006). Within the framework of our research, we undertook to examine the attitudes (Arlotti, Aguilar-Hendrickson 2017) and experiences of the Roma towards elderly care.
  Our aim was to explore the opinions of adult Roma people on the topic, as well as to identify possible cultural peculiarities in this issue (Hajime et al 2006; Da Roit 2010; Kehusmaa et al. 2013; Szabóné 2018).

  Method:
  We have selected Roma adult people living in Budapest as our target group, most of them perform manual labour, who in the near future are likely to face the issue of caring for their elderly relatives or are already facing it in the capital. We have chosen this target group because there is a wide range of social services in the capital, and this gives us an insight into the confidence or lack of confidence in the social care system. The situation of the Roma elderly in the Hungarian social context is discussed with a nuanced approach based on Roma studies. The opinions and thoughts of 20 Roma adults are highlighted in our presentation, with whom we interviewed. We compiled a semi-structured set of questions for the target group. We tried to capture the attitude of the Roma towards elderly care along different dimensions (Allport, Lindzey 1960; Örkény, Vári 2009): individual responsibility (Nárai 2019) patterns of the family (Bánlaky 2001), financial and other resources (Bourdieu 1999) - assistance, trust in the social care system, readiness for elderly care (Heimlich 2008). Our research was carried out in November 2021 in compliance with the measures associated witht he COVID-19 situation. The interviews took 40-75 minutes long on average per person.
  We compare international trends within formation on elderly care in Hungary and data on the health status of elderly Roma in Hungary (Kodner, 2006).

  Results:
  The uniqueness of our research lies in the fact that we present the strategies of the Roma related to care in the Hungarian social reality, we identify practical problems and challenges, which can even be a breeding ground for future social policy measures (Schwiter et al. 2015). Poverty among the Roma, as well as discrimination and lower life expectancy compared to non-Roma (KSH, 2015) all contribute to the decision-making of Roma adults regarding the care of their elderly relatives, which is confirmed by the answers found in the interviews and the possibilities and strategies formed by the elderly care system (Kovács 2006). Our results showed that access to various social benefits, such as home help and public health care among others is affected during elderly care, and also has a key role to play, but also information among the Roma. In addition to trust in the social care system, financial means or lack of the influence coping strategies for elderly care. The results obtained can be used even for prevention projects aimed at local health preservation, or for any program aimed at improving the health status of the Roma.

  A tartós gondozási rendszer túlterheltsége miatt egyre fontosabb a családi gondozók szerepe az idősellátásban. A gondozás felvállalása azonban jelentős megterheltséggel jár, melynek számos negatív következménye lehet a családi gondozók családi élete, munkavállalása, testi-lelki egészsége tekintetében. A jelenlegi hazai ellátórendszer kizárólag a gondozottak szükségleteire fókuszál, a családi gondozók támogatására még nincsenek szolgáltatások. Tanulmányunkban 10, családi gondozóval készített mélyinterjú tükrében ismertetjük legfontosabb nehézségeiket.

  A summary of Symposium titled COVID-19 pandemic, surveys on elderly about vaccination reserved in this abstract.
  The severe cases of COVID-19 in Europe. A comparative analysis using SHARE data base
  The paper focuses on the severe cases of COVID-19 in Europe and the predictors of these cases. The author used the secondary analysis of a large data base (SHARE) of persons aged 50 or more from the EU countries and the Switzerland. The data have been collected in the summer of 2020. In the first part the focus is on the theoretical starting point of the analysis. In the second part the main outputs are presented.
  How to convince the undecided - communication with the elderly and attitudes towards vaccination COVID-19 in Poland
  The pandemic has had its toll on the socio-economic life of most people. Governments and international organizations face new challenges in a situation of uncertainty. Social campaigns are designed to encourage as many people as possible to join the vaccination plan. Achieving population resilience requires a significant commitment of organizational, financial and communication resources.
  Older people constitute a priority group in the vaccination system in Poland. However, despite the measures taken, there remains a significant share of seniors who remain reluctant to vaccination. The government is taking further pro-turnout measures targeted at the elderly. The shortcomings of the existing strategies should be eliminated for the benefit of society.
  The aim is to summarize the research conducted in the field of the needs and possibilities of communication with the elderly, attitudes towards vaccinations and sources of influence on making purchasing decisions of seniors.
  Vaccination attitudes – international project in Central and Eastern Europe
  The beginnings of the project date back to 2020. The uncertainty that became commonplace in the times of the pandemic indicated new areas of previously unknown dependencies. Stress, uncertainty, attitudes towards the threat, protective behaviour, and soon also attitudes towards vaccination seemed the most important at that time. Examining the existing dependencies would allow a better understanding of the phenomenon of social responses to the pandemic and would support governmental and non-governmental, national and international actions that would be an important tool in the fight against the negative consequences of a spreading COVID-19.
  Scientists from Central and Eastern European countries representing different disciplines (sociology, economics, communication, statistics, psychology and psychiatry) joined forces in a common international project investigating the relationship between attitudes towards vaccines and the level of perceived mental health, uncertainty, socio-demographic variables and the level of religiosity. Core aims of the project were to analyse the model of predictors concerning demographic, psychological, and social factors influencing the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 and to provide the information to prepare and implement more effective and efficient health messaging strategies and campaigns targeting groups reluctant to COVID-19 vaccination in Eastern and Central European countries.
  The project involved the development of a common research tool - a questionnaire, parallel research in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary), more than 2000 respondents (unvaccined adults) and joint development of the results of the analysis, using the potential of all involved partners.
  The project is still developed to next stages of investigation. Results will be published in high quality journals in years 2022 and 2023.

  Partners involved represent: University of Gdańsk (Poland), University of Oradea (Romania), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Debrecen (Hungary).

  Survey on unvaccinated Hungarian elderly people during the COVID-19 pandemic
  During the pandemic, we performed a comparative study of the Hungarian unvaccinated people, focusing on psychological and demographic aspects in our questionnaire. The survey data collection lasted from 27 August to 13 October 2021. Participants were over 18 years of age who have not yet received any vaccination against the COVID-19 virus.
  The method used is an on-line questionnaire survey.
  The survey is not for political but for scientific purposes, and we hope that its results will contribute to a more professional management of the COVID-19 epidemic. The survey of Hungarian team was conducted in collaboration with Polish, Slovenian and Romanian university researchers.
  The test dimensions are as follows:
  Well-being at the time of pandemic (happiness, health.)
  Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS21)
  Vaccination Attitudes Examination Scale (VAX)
  Sources of information about vaccination
  Religiosity level
  Demographics (metrics)
  The presentation focuses on the most important aspects of the first analysis of the Hungarian results. The study involved 478 people: 113 men, 363 women, and 2 people identified as “other”. It is worth highlighting from the first processing of the data that a large number of unvaccinated people do not believe that they are at risk of getting the COVID-19 virus. In our sample 42% of the unvaccinated are very sure that the vaccine will not work, and 30.6% are afraid that they will become infected because of the vaccine. They do not usually feel safe after vaccinations, they are afraid of the undiscovered consequences, and they trust more in their natural immunity. 61.8% definitely do not want a vaccine for themselves, nor in the future. 67.3% want to wait to see how vaccines work in other people. During processing, we could identify the ones with a definite anti-vaccination attitude. They were also analyzed on the basis of their political affiliation, religiosity, and place of residence. Regarding the DASS-21 depression subscale, the young age group scored significantly higher than the elderly. According to the DASS-21 stress subscale, the value belonging to young people is significantly higher than that of older people. On the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale’s concerns about financial profiteering subscale, seniors scored significantly higher. Interpreting our results in the context of parallel international studies is also part of our objectives. Our results provide an opportunity to serve important aspects for the communication strategies with unvaccinated elderly.

  The established fact is that the population with the highest consumer of healthcare services is the elderly because of the increasing demand for adaptive health services accessible to the elderly. As the elderly continue to age, there is a decline in the health condition, developed societies have explored and employed several multidisciplinary approaches to the care of the elderly. The focus is on social work as a profession.
