18% of Population Elderly, 66% Women: Country's Pensioner Workforce and Longevity Strategies

In our country, 18% of the population are elderly, with 1.628 million people aged 65 and above. Notably, 66% of these elderly citizens are women. Despite their age, every fifth pensioner continues to work, contributing to the economy.

The country's 2.4 million pensioners receive annual expenses amounting to 9% of GDP. Among them, 472,000 are working pensioners, demonstrating their active life position and commitment to society. The Republican Center for Active Longevity caters to this demographic, accepting patients aged 60 and above.

The country is home to over 41,000 people aged 90 and above, with around 600 centenarians. This longevity is a testament to the country's focus on active aging and social protection. The expected age limit for protective age strategies by 2030 is likely 16 years, reflecting political discussions to safeguard youth in the digital and social media domains.

The country's strategy for the social protection of the elderly until 2030 emphasizes developing social care infrastructure and digitization. This forward-thinking approach acknowledges the blurred boundaries of what age is considered elderly, with early aging possible even in people aged 50 and above. By investing in these areas, the country aims to ensure a high quality of life for its elderly population and foster intergenerational interaction.
