Briga o starim licima u sistemu socijalne zaštite Republike Srbije
Care about old persons in the social protection system of the Republic of Serbia
Sažetak
Produženje životnog veka određuje položaj starih osoba u savremenom društvu. Stoga problemi starosti postaju značajna društvena pojava koja zaokuplja naučnu i stručnu pažnju gerontologa, gerijatara, sociologa, socijalnih radnika, kriminologa, psihologa i dr. Živimo u vremenu političkih i ekonomskih kriza i promena u kojima postoje kategorije stanovništva koje su ugrožene, osiromašene, bolesne, usamljene, ranjive, što je naročito izraženo kod stare populacije. Iako je, kod nas, staranje o starima, u velikoj meri, svedeno na porodicu i ima međugeneracijski karakter, sve češće porodica nije u stanju da sama snosi teret te brige. Mnoga stara lica žive sama ili u staračkim domovima, s obzirom na to da su mladi poslednjih dvadesetak godina napuštali zemlju i roditelje u potrazi za boljim životom. Kroz zakonska rešenja i Strategije o starima i u Republici Srbiji pokušava se, preko institucionalnih i vaninstitucionalnih oblika zaštite, pomoći osobama trećeg životnog doba.
Abstract
The prolongation of lifespan determines the position of old people in modern society. Therefore, age problems become a significant social phenomenon that seizes the scientific and professional attention of gerontologists, geriatrics, sociologists, social workers, criminologists, psychologists, and others. We live in a time of political and economic crises and changes in which there are categories of the population that are endangered, impoverished, sick, lonely, vulnerable, which is especially pronounced in the old population. Although, in our country, care for the elderly is largely reduced to the family and has a multigenerational character. More and more, the family is unable to bear the burden of that care alone. Many old people live alone or in nursing homes, since young people have left the country and parents in search of a better life for the past twenty years. Through the legal solutions and the Strategy on the old, the Republic of Serbia is trying, through institutional and non-institutional forms of protection, to help people of the third age.
