Therefore, the purpose of the article is the need for timely social prevention of elderly people.\u0000\u0000Population aging is a topical issue not only in Slovakia, but also in other countries of the European Union and the world. Each country has its own tools of assistance, social services and care for this category of people. Somewhere at a higher level, somewhere, on the contrary, a lower level of provision of social services for people of respectable age.\u0000\u0000Aging means a new challenge in life, which should not be feared, although it is accompanied by such characteristics as conservatism, limitation, regression, decline, etc. Conversely, if old age comes to a well-prepared person who knows how to deal with it, it becomes a life challenge for him and can be one of the periods that inspires and interests. And therefore approaches to the interpretation of the process of aging and old age should be very positive.\u0000\u0000According to the author M. Bleg (2013), the aging index in 2060 should reach 220%. The author refers to citizens aged 65 and over as post-productive parts of the population. He assumes that in 2060 the population of post-productive age will reach the largest age group. The scientist predicts that the number of elderly people will increase by 65% more in five decades. Compared to 2011, this growth is 2.5 times. That is, every third person in the Slovak Republic will be at least 65 years old in 2060. The most pronounced load index will be composed of elderly people and thus it will affect the overall load index.\u0000\u0000Aging and old age are an important stage of the ontogenetic development of an individual and are a natural part of the human life cycle. They are an individual and social phenomenon. Since self-sufficiency decreases with age, an elderly person cannot meet his basic needs by himself, which leads to increased dependence on other people and often to a forced change of life.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":55832,"journal":{"name":"Social Work and Education","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88687004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of them turns out to be the housing issue, where millions of people in the world continue to vegetate without shelter. According to the data of the Iusticia et Pax commission, at the end of the last century, nearly a fifth of the world's population was deprived of decent housing conditions. According to the data of the Iusticia et Pax commission, at the end of the last century, nearly a fifth of the world's population was deprived of decent housing conditions, and almost half of the world's population vegetated in slums or ghettos of big cities in conditions unworthy of man (Głod, 2008). Nowadays, homelessness has become an important social problem, mutually intertwining in cause and effect with unemployment, poverty and many other social pathologies, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, venereal diseases and HIF, family breakdown and crime. On a global scale, the problem is exacerbated by epidemics (Covid-19),war cataclysms and mass displacement of people. The phenomenon of homelessness occurs both in poor and rich societies, being the subject of research interest in such disciplines as sociology, economics, law, psychology, social policy or social work. Experts from various disciplines try to name this problem in various ways, but the dozen of the presented definitions do not change the fact that the concept of homelessness is generally legible in the social perception, which is why the author decided to omit numerous definitions and typologies of the phenomenon, as not very useful in the framework of the assumptions of this study ,accepting homelessness as a negation of the basic human right, i.e. the right to have a stable and safe place of existence. The main assumption here is an attempt to show and evaluate the work of social services in specific Polish conditions.\u0000\u0000The main research problem for the author is the answer to the question whether and how three selected charities cope with the current socio-political and economic situation. \u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":55832,"journal":{"name":"Social Work and Education","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91352596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
