Abstract:

Globalisation tends to be one of the most significant trends in modern world. It induces a lot of changes in population ageing, demography, social policy and other related realms (Esters, Wallace, 2010).  Population ageing is the result of increasing quality of life, decreasing mortality and morbidity in young age. But as WHO noted, increasing life expectancy also causes increasing morbidity and disabilities in old age (WHO, 2007). As the result, older people become more frail, dependent and vulnerable. According to active ageing perspective, predominated in EU and USA, older people should be more independent and productive in their later life (Boudiny, 2013). Activity means wide range aspects to engaging older people to make decisions, to take part into society, to improve financial wellbeing. However for people in forth age (75+), it is not possible, due to physical and mental disabilities and they need a lot of care in daily activities, which can be provided by mix of resources: state, family, kinship, society (Lloyd-Sherlock, 2010).
