Udio osoba starije dobi u cjelokupnoj populaciji raste, sto nazivamo demografskim starenjem, a posljedica je pada nataliteta i produljenja životnog vijeka uslijed napretka medicine i poboljsanja kvalitete života.

Kljucnu ulogu u tom procesu imaju neformalni njegovatelji, koji su u vecini slucajeva clanovi uže obitelji. Stoga je cilj istraživanja bio utvrditi sociodemografska obilježja neformalnih njegovatelja starijih osoba te obilježja njege koju pružaju. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku 342 \u0000neformalna njegovatelja na podrucju grada Zagreba. Rezultati su pokazali da su njegovatelji najcesce udane i zaposlene žene, u srednjoj životnoj dobi. Utvrđeno je i da uglavnom njeguju svoje roditelje, koji su u dubokoj starosti, uz prisutnost multimorbiditeta. Cak trecina njegovatelja obavlja skrb 24 sata \u0000dnevno, vise od 5 godina.

Gender difference in poverty in old age is high in most countries in the European Union and beyond. Poverty of older women is two to three times higher than the poverty of men, what will be presented latter in the article. Literature review and comparative research data show that social security systems around the world insufficiently address the problem neglecting the core issue of gender inequalities over the life-course (Barrientos et al., 2003; Bettio et al., 2013; Börcsh Supan et al., 2011; Burkevica et al., 2015; Gianni et al., 2015). Review also shows that poverty in old age cannot be understood by studying merely statistical data over a certain period of time, since it is a result of the accumulation of inequalities throughout one’s life course. Furthermore, poverty among older women cannot be fully understood without taking into account the socialization of women into expected social and gender roles which affect their life courses. Even though the causes of poverty of women in old age are known, the problem of political recognition remains what impacts the survival of women in old age. Poverty reduces their life to taking care just of basic needs, such as having something to eat and enough money to pay the bills what in most cases is already a struggle. The problem affects also elderly women in Slovenia.

We are witnessing remarkable demographic changes; people are healthier, have higher quality of life and consequently live longer, which results in important social consequences at the individual level, as well as at the level of families and countries (see Filipovič Hrast & Hlebec, 2015). In the next five decades, according to the latest demographic projections of Eurostat, the structure of the population will change radically. The proportion of the oldest Europeans (80 years and over) is expected to rise from 5% in 2016 to 13% in 2070, while the old-age dependency ratio of older people will almost double in this period. Europe is expected to increase public expenditure on long-term care from 1.6% to 2.7% of GDP (European Commission, 2018). These trends will have a significant impact on the organization and financial sustainability of long-term care systems. We can expect an increase in the proportion of people who will need long-term care and a decrease in the proportion of those giving care, both formal and informal.","PeriodicalId":53979,"journal":{"name":"Revija Za Socijalnu Politiku","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3935/rsp.v26i2.1655","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47833968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
