| Annotation | Russia and the other former Soviet Republics are undergoing transition in their economic, social and political structures, which has left the majority of Russians living in poverty. This article presents demographic indicators that illustrate social implications of ageing in respect of: the family; care services for older people; the pension system (a new structure was introduced in 2002); benefits and allowances; social services; and medical and economic situations. It recommends that the Russian Federal Government needs to raise the quality of life of a significant portion of its population. (RH). |
