demographic change and future developments

In today's future -oriented concepts for senior citizens' policy are of great importance. The network "redesign social affairs" (song), founded by various institutions, deals intensively with the challenges of demographic change. The Bertelsmann Foundation and other members have developed ideas and impulses for innovative forms of living and social initiatives to promote the participation of older people.

With specialist books, guidelines and position paper, Song makes valuable contributions to improve the quality of life of seniors in all social classes. The focus is on the development of social infrastructure, which is specifically aimed at the needs of older citizens. Such initiatives not only promote the quality of life, but also create a network that supports the exchange and integration of the older generation into social life.
