In the UK, an ageing society is one of the greatest challenges for housing, and national government has identified this as an area where significant changes need to be made, not only in the actual buildings but in challenging society’s perceptions of what housing for older people should mean.

A good place to grow older – the Hungarian case
The ageing of the society is a well-documented phenomenon in Hungary. In 1990 the population 65+ constituted 13.2% of the society. By 2009 the rate has grown to 16.4%. By 2050 population projection predicts 29.4% for Hungary. There is an urgent need in the adaptation of the current social care policies to follow the demographic and social changes.
