Abstract:
The large percentage of healthy, active octogenarians in Israel suggests that social services should reconsider whether they do address the appropriate population. There clearly is and will be a large group of fairly active, financially secure and well-educated individuals who have moved out of the labor market and whose ages fall along a relatively broad upper range.
