Journal of Agribusiness and Rural Development, 2018, vol. 50, issue 4

Abstract: This paper deals with the issue of silver economy assumptions which, when implemented, will enable converting demographic problems into specific development opportunities. It presents the use of the silver economy paradigm in creating the rural development strategy. This paper assumes that a development strategy which addresses the needs of the ageing population fosters an improvement in living standards not only for the elderly but also for other members of the population. In the case of rural areas and agriculture, it preserves the multi-functionality of rural areas and helps the local inhabitants continue exercising their various professions. The content of this paper is in line with economic and social analyses underpinned by achievements in sociological and economic research, and is based on existing sources and outcomes of own research. A descriptive analysis was used to present the issues considered.
