Abstract

Issues regarding senior citizens and an aging population will require greater attention in the long term. Finding a solution to this matter cannot be avoided. In 2050 the proportion of persons aged 65+ in the Czech Republic is predicted to be 32.2%. The systemic approach to creating active aging programmes has a direct impact on improving the quality of life of local communities and the balanced development of a socially responsible society. The aim of active aging programs at the municipal level should be to ensure the prolongation of active life, in line with the values and way of life of senior citizens. Based on the analysis of its own questionnaire survey, combined with EU-SILC 2015 data, the main barriers preventing municipal activities in relation to senior citizens were identified as follows: health condition, cost / financial situation and, surprisingly, lack of free time.
