AVAILABILITY OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC m THE CONTEXT OF POPULATION AGING
2023
Overview
The Slovak Republic is in the golden age from the perspective of the demographic structure, as the productive population reaches its peak, as well as the ratio of the population in the productive age to the population in the pre- and post-productive age. However, in a few decades, the Slovak Republic will be affected by one of the most rapid aging of the population within the countries of the European Union, which will bring several challenges. We can prepare for some challenges, but some are already unavoidable. The changed demographic structure is mainly associated with expenditures on the social and health system, which are experiencing rapid growth causing pressure to strengthen segments such as long-term care, barrier-free premises as well as healthcare. Improving health care and a better quality of life bring results in the form of longer average life expectancy for both men and women. While in 1993, 64-year-old women lived for another 17 years, in 2019 it was 20 years. For men, there was an increase from 14 years to 16 years. According to the long-term forecast, in the year 2100 the life expectancy will increase for 64-year-old women to 28 years and for men to 26 years, which raises the question of how to ensure enough high-quality and affordable health and social long-term care for people dependent on essential help. However, aging will also affect caregivers, causing a shortage of them. In the article, we set ourselves the goal of identifying long-term care providers as well as applicants in the context of the effects of aging. Based on the above, in the article we have outlined the possibilities of using technology for remote care and continuous supervision of a vulnerable group. Innovations in technology complement the social service system and give family members a sense of peace.
