Abstract

Population ageing is a global process, characteristic of European states as well as Russia and China. One of the proportional replies to the challenges of global ageing is the creation of conditions that ensure maximum autonomy and activity, as well as social support for senior citizens and the opportunity to be active. The aim of the paper is to analyze the features of social policy in the field of active ageing in European states and the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China before and during the pandemic. The study highlights key trends and differences within the framework of the European, Russian, and Chinese policies of active ageing. The comparative analysis focuses on the study of the experience of European countries; the policy of these countries is focused around the development of active ageing, which allows us to consider the experience of these countries as a reference. Also in the study, we consider the differences and specifics of ageing and old age within the framework of country differences that are considered in the work. These countries have been implementing a variety of mechanisms in the field of active ageing for many years. The article reveals the specifics of implementation of such policies and provides a review of the strengths and weaknesses of active ageing policies in the three countries under consideration.
