Golden age. Hundreds of events and actions in every corner of the republic - on the eve of the Day of Elderly People.
In our country 1 million 700 thousand pensioners. October 1st is their holiday. Sports events, dialogue platforms, concerts and tea parties are planned. The republican action “Respect” is held in the country. Care. Responsibility”.
Maria Artemenko, Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Belarus: On October 1, the 5th mass start of the Nordic Walking Marathon will take place. And this event will open in Dzerzhinsk with the participation of the Minister of Labor and Social Protection. On October 3, sports and mass events for active longevity will be held. 65+ is the age at which we begin to pay more attention to the needs of the older generation.
The state does everything for their comfort. Pensions are rising. Now the average size is more than a thousand rubles. Special attention is paid to professional care of pensioners at home. More than 115,000 people receive such services. Trade unions take an active part in working with people of venerable age – seminars on adaptation, training in the use of modern technologies and financial support during holidays.
Tatiana Filimonova, Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus: We don't just pay attention to the financial support of our veterans. Of course, it is very important for us that they lead an active lifestyle. Of course, much attention is paid to the disclosure of their creative potential. It should be noted that on the basis of three palaces of trade unions, we have 23 creative formations in which more than 600 veterans show their creativity. Also, many trade unions hold their own industry actions.
Young people will also join in congratulating the older generation. Concerts and home help are just the beginning. Also, more than 2 thousand BRSM volunteers will participate in the Dobro.Bel marathon, where they will help the elderly to deliver products from agricultural fairs.
