The demographic trend of population aging, determines the intervention of the state to develop and promote policies and strategies that ensure new approaches aimed at respecting fundamental rights, preserving the independence and participation of the elderly in social life. Common challenges, social risks, but also the digitization of state support systems, highlight the gap between generations, which is significant and increases with age. The subject is current, taking into account statistical data on the level of their social well-being. The EU Council (2020), invites states, within the limits of their powers, to strengthen social inclusion and mutual solidarity between generations, to include the issue of population aging in all policy areas and to involve older people, especially older women, in all the decision-making processes that affect their lives.

The issue addressed in this study constitutes the framework of policies and regulations regarding the thirdage people related to ensuring the quality of life at an advanced age.
