ROBLEMS OF GERONTOLOGY AND AGING PROCESSES: SOCIAL, ETHICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGI
Keywords:
Gerontology, aging, old age, intergenerational relations, social protection, health, ethics, psychology, elderly care, social environmentAbstract
This article examines the social and psychological dimensions of aging and the growing scientific attention toward the interaction between youth and the elderly in recent years. The field of gerontology, originating from the Greek words geron (old) and logos (study), is increasingly relevant due to demographic changes and the need for effective intergenerational dialogue. While aging has long been seen as a natural process and thus was rarely studied scientifically, modern research views it through the lenses of biology, psychology, ethics, and social policy. The work explores the evolution of gerontological thought, ethical principles guiding professionals in the field, and the health and societal challenges faced by the elderly. The article also stresses the need for supportive environments and programs that enhance the health, productivity, and dignity of the aging population. It concludes with scientifically grounded suggestions for improving conditions for the elderly within society.
