Romania is in the top 10 countries whose populations are aging year by year, and three out of 10 elderly people in our country have no one to rely on in situations of need, informed, on Wednesday, the chairwoman of the Romanian Institute for Active Aging Association, Alexandra Dobre.Dobre mentioned, in the opening of the National Congress of Active Aging, which takes place on Wednesday and Thursday, that the elderly are often considered a burden.
