By 2040, Ukraine plans to build a society where age is not an obstacle to work and self-realization. State policy is aimed at training, supporting, and developing infrastructure for people aged 45+. This was reported by the Ministry of Social Policy, as conveyed by UNN.
Barrier-free access as an approach is gradually becoming a new social norm. People are increasingly accepting dignified aging and intergenerational teamwork (25+ and 55+) as the norm. The policy of the Ministry of Social Policy, together with partners, is built precisely around this logic.
It is noted that the ministry considers it necessary to:
- the concept of barrier-free access in the field of labor;
- creation of age-friendly services and digital platforms;
- training and adaptation programs for people aged 45+;
- development of care infrastructure as a condition for the participation of women in mature age.
Active longevity is one of the directions of Ukraine's Demographic Development Strategy until 2040.
