Promoting Active Ageing in Lithuania
Policy Challenges and Solutions
Lithuania is one of the fastest-ageing countries in Europe. Its working-age population
is not only ageing, but also expected to decline significantly, giving rise to considerable
economic, labour market, social and public governance challenges. The inclusion of
older persons has improved in many areas in the past two decades. Yet, many Lithuanians
aged 55 and over continue to lag in fully engaging in society relative to younger
people and their peers in neighbouring countries. This report takes a holistic approach
to analyse Active Ageing policies in Lithuania in three dimensions: labour market
inclusion, social policies, and participation in public and political life. It provides
tailored policy recommendations to improve the well-being of older people in Lithuania
in terms of better employment and lifelong learning outcomes, stronger integration
in society, and participation in democratic institutions and processes.
