This holiday is established in order to draw public attention to the problems of the elderly, the problem of demographic aging of the total population, as well as to seek opportunities to improve the quality of life for our seniors.
As a rule, older people are called, have reached retirement age. In Russia, the age of men comes in 60 years, and for women - 55. In our country, the number of elderly people reached 20, 7% of the total population.
Retirement is a powerful stress factor for humans, because from that moment on his life changes dramatically. He stops work activity, in connection with which he is deprived of the opportunity to fulfill your potential. Income is deteriorating because of the minimum old-age pension in our country is very low.
If a person is healthy, vigorous, full of energy, is actively involved in the social, sporting life, then old age for him - a relative concept. If desired, even in old age, people are able to live fully. And in any case it is impossible to listen to those who say that at your age are already lost, "Do not do something, even if it involved the young", "Take care of yourself, you do well it's bad," etc.
Celebrating the Day of the elderly person, traditions
You can not get away from the old, but to extend the happy years of life is always possible. Some feel that old age is approaching in the 40-50 years, but there are always those who feel young and 80.
Only from ourselves, from our attitudes and desires it depends, when it comes our old age, and whether it will at all. Learn the proper way of life at any age.
Celebrating the Day of the elderly person is a very important event for the Russians. It helps us to support and thank the elderly, to show that they are very dear to us and we appreciate them for what they did to the younger generation and what they are doing for us now.
With the retirement of life does not end, but only allows you to finally realize themselves that what had not enough time and successfully apply their talents, wisdom and intelligence.
