Abstract:
Achieving the goal of this work led to a real picture of the situation of older
people in Moldova. Absolute poverty in 2012 was 4.5% and 0.3% extreme poverty,
elderly, large families, people with disabilities, etc.. being the most affected by the
social problem. In the village Bardar Ialoveni literally all elderly (9.7%) face various
problems arising from poverty. Small pensions are the only monthly income that old
people have and they need to divide it to pay for utilities, water, gas, food and
medicine. This demonstrates that the elderly are a vulnerable group in society that
need protection from the state by reducing the phenomenon of poverty at the national
and territorial then creating a new system of social protection. The new system will
protect all vulnerable to poverty and will increase the people what they can provide a
decent living.
