The socio-economic problems faced by elderly and the attitude of family members towards them were explored in this study. Methods: A random sample of 200 respondents comprising both women and men of age 60 years and above was selected and data was collected through semi-structured interview schedule. The data collected has been processed through SPSS and simple frequency designed tables.

Abstract Elderly people face increasing challenges in the Arctic region, with global warming figuring prominently among these. The rising average temperature in the region is causing not only the rapid melting of sea ice, but also a range of environmental, social, cultural and economic problems. While the population at large in the region suffers from these problems, the elderly are among the most vulnerable. Climate change has affected their lives in different ways – physically, socially, politically, culturally and psychologically – and the impacts have serious implications for their human rights. This is an issue that has not been adequately researched, particularly in the context of the European High North, and this paper undertakes to present the salient concerns in this regard.

Abstract Objective: To describe and reflect the possible relationships established by the elderly between happiness and money. Method: It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out from a semi-structured interview with 19 elderly people, in their households, of both sexes in 2017 and 2018, in two states of the South region of Brazil, through content analysis. Results: What emerged in the voice of older people unfolded into two categories: Money as a way of life and Money does not bring happiness. Participants indicated relationships between happiness and money because money is one of the conditions to meet the basic needs of daily life, but it appeared as a propedeutic resource for happiness. They also reported that the obsessive pursuit of money can generate fascination, anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The participants indicated that money is a means to live well and be happy and was not considered the highest goal of their lives. He is not a promoter of happiness, but can contribute to the pursuit of peace, tranquility and inner satisfaction.

Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between widowhood and social participation on life satisfaction of the elderly in rural China. Methods: We used questionnaires and scales to investigate 322 rural elderly people in Shaanxi Province. Results: We found that widowhood was negatively correlated with social participation (P = 0.033). Widowhood was negatively correlated with life satisfaction (P = 0.007). Social activities play a mediating role between widowhood and life satisfaction. Conclusion: Widowhood directly affects the life satisfaction of the elderly, and widowhood affects the life satisfaction of the elderly through social activities. More participation in social activities is an effective way to improve the life satisfaction of the elderly.
