Report on the Situation of Older People in Poland for 2023

The document provides a comprehensive diagnosis of the demographic, economic, health, and social situation of Poles aged 60 and over. It describes challenges such as the growing demographic burden and health problems, but also shows available forms of support, activities, and actions taken by the government and local authorities to improve the quality of life of seniors. The report also includes conclusions and recommendations for further directions of senior policy.
Key points
In 2023, older people (60+) constituted 26.3% of Poland's population, and forecasts indicate an increase in this percentage to nearly 40% by 2060.
Households consisting solely of seniors are mainly supported by pensions and disability benefits (81.5% of income), and their average monthly disposable income per person was PLN 3,009.69.
Over 60% of older people declare long-term health problems, and 45% have a limited ability to perform daily activities, highlighting the need to develop care and health services.
The report points to the necessity of strengthening actions in the field of long-term care, counteracting digital and social exclusion, and promoting healthy and active aging.
