SESSION XI

POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SILVER ECONOMY

The aim of the panel is to indicate whether there are opportunities, within the Łódź Voivodeship, for the development of the so-called silver economy, i.e., the system of production and distribution of goods and services targeted at meeting the specific needs of seniors and people approaching the beginning of old age. By commencing from the demographic changes, the development perspectives of selected sectors of the economy (consumer goods, tourism), and methods of influencing the activity of people at retirement age on the labour market (age management, intergenerational knowledge transfer) will be presented, indicating the specificity of the Łódź region.
