Abstract

Elderly people represent a category of population with specific interests and needs. As a result of the growth in the number of the elderly population, due to different social and economic changes, senior people have to deal with many problems which need more and more attention and help from the part of social assistants. These problems that I would like to insist upon are: the consequences of the ageing process, the decrease of the social web, and elderly people related prejudice.
