we need to act now to prevent the exclusion of Seniors
The aging of society is a challenge that will shape our future. According to the latest demographic forecast from Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS), the number of people aged 65+ in Poland is expected to grow from 7.3 million today to over 11 million by 2060 in the high scenario. This means that nearly one in three people in our society will be seniors. This demographic shift will impact us all – not just older adults, but also their families, caregivers, and the broader socio-economic system.
But an aging population isn’t just about numbers. It’s a question of what kind of society we want to build. Are we ready to act now to prevent Seniors from being marginalized and create a world where everyone feels valued and respected?
Aging society – an urgent call to action
The scale of the challenge
According to the report “Socio-economic effects of an aging society”, the aging population is already straining healthcare systems, limiting labor market resources, and increasing pension expenditures. In 2022, for every 100 working-age people, there were 70 non-working-age people. By 2060, this number will rise to 105, meaning more than one retiree for every working individual.
What happens if we do nothing?
Without adequate support systems, Seniors risk becoming a group particularly vulnerable to social and digital exclusion. As the population ages, this issue will intensify, affecting us all – economically and socially.
Technology as a solution to demographic challenges
Modern solutions for modern problems
Technology has the power to transform reality – but only when it’s directed in the right way. That’s where ♥MY APS (My Application for Supporting Seniors) comes in. This app connects people and makes coordinating assistance for Seniors simple and effective.
Here’s what the app offers:
- Volunteers can help “on the go” – delivering groceries, picking up medications, or providing transportation.
- Seniors gain quick, intuitive access to support in their area.
- Aid organizations can streamline their efforts using a clear and user-friendly tool.

Making helping accessible to all
♥MY APS democratizes helping. Regardless of where you live or how much time you have, you can easily integrate small acts of kindness into your daily routine. It’s not just about facilitating aid – it’s about building bridges between generations and strengthening social bonds.
Senior exclusion isn’t an individual problem – it’s a societal one
Community over isolation
Reports show that social isolation and loneliness are among the biggest challenges faced by older adults. In a digital world, many Seniors lack access to the tools that could help them. ♥MY APS offers a way to connect with their community and access assistance without technological barriers.
Economic impact of marginalization
Failing to act increases costs related to social care, healthcare, and benefits. Investing in tools that empower society and support Seniors isn’t an expense – it’s a long-term savings strategy.
Support the ♥MY APS project
As the creators of ♥MY APS, we believe that collective action can shape the future. The aging of society is a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity to build solidarity and implement innovative solutions.
I invite you to support this initiative. We need funds to further develop the app, making it easier to help Seniors and fostering intergenerational connections.
