Only definitive (permanent) internal and interna- tional (foreign) migrations were taken into consideration here. Since migration is a two- directional movement − inflow (immigration) to a given territory and outflow (emigra- tion) from the former place of residence − we dealt here both with newcomers (incoming population, immigrants) to the territory of all 16 voivodeships and with the population leaving given voivodeships permanently. A particularly detailed analysis was applied to net migrations or migration balances. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/610 The Demand for Places in Social Homes for the Elderly Among Polish Seniors to the Year 2035 Lewandowska-Szweda, Zofia The article aims to assess the demand for the places in social homes for the elderly among persons aged 75+ up to the year 2035. To this end, the proportion of the disabled in the selected subpopulation is estimated to approximate the demand for the beds. The findings indicate that a significant increase in the demand for institutional support is likely, driven by the growing subpopulation of older persons in Poland. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/609 Population Aging and Some Social Consequences of the Process in the Country and in the Region Kowaleski, Jerzy T. The paper describes the state of population aging in Poland and one voivodeship (Kujawsko-pomorskie) in the early 21st c., as well as showing how the process will develop in the next future, limited by the beginning of the 2030s. Using the economic and biological age groups to describe the structure of popula- tion with respect to aging, we need to note that the shares of age groups are similar in the voivodeship and in the country, both today and throughout the Central Statistical Of- fice’s most recent population projection. The similar shares of the working age group and retirement age group in the analysed areas translate into almost identical potential support ratios for the country and the mentioned administrative unit and into their future trends. Population aging considered in the cross section of urban and rural areas makes it evident that the process consequences (e.g. for the labour market, the social policy) will affect the urban population more strongly than the rural population. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/608 Reflection on Redefinition of Elderly People's Role in the Modern Society Thel, Karolina The purpose of the presented paper is to redefine the place and category of elderly people facing the demographic and cultural changes in the contemporary world. It presents the lack of precision to define the topic because of the internal cate- gory differentiation. The paper makes an attempt to discuss the generation gap distance on the basis of Margaret Mead's theory and tries to give an answer to the question of the present and future role of elderly people in the post-modern society. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
