Sažetak
The ever-increasing number of the elderly in developed countries creates the need to keep them active as long as possible in order to maintain their psychophysical health and prevent them from living isolated sedentary life. The paper analyzes the phenomenon of aging population and the characteristics of this life stage in European countries putting a special emphasis on the Republic of Croatia. Based on the hypothesis that the number of the elderly using information and communication technologies has been increasing, the paper offers a solution to the problem of keeping them up to date through a web application. The application enables them to communicate easily and quickly, establish social contacts and find out about organized meetings and trainings of associations and other institutions. The application also lists work opportunities for the elderly. If mentally and physically healthy, they can earn some additional money, increase the household budget and use their time in a beneficial way.
