| Annotation | This article reviews the main characteristics of population ageing, its societal implications and possible policy responses in the twelve countries of the former Soviet Union (which on its break-up became known as the Commonwealth of Independent States, or CIS). In spite of demographic, cultural and economic diversity, the countries under consideration share several common characteristics, such as joint political history, as well as the context and content of social policy. These common characteristics are essential for understanding the specifics of the ongoing process of multifaceted transition (including demographic transition) in these countries. As elsewhere in the world, population ageing in the ex-Soviet states presents both challenges and opportunities, which should be carefully examined and taken into consideration while designing and implementing the measures of adjustment to population changes in this unique group of countries.
