Sustainability and Old Age: A Discarded Wealth

Abstract

Well, it is important that the elderly who are a good percentage of humanity can carry out their function in forming the guidelines of the communities. Therefore, their marginalization which excludes from the world of work with advancing age must be criticized. It is noted anyway that the current political leaderships are far from worrying about the issue of the elderly but are attracted by controversial issues in search of consensus for power. A model therefore that can create disagreements and discords in the social sphere and not unity of address. Unity of address which, on the other hand, is necessary for the formation of majorities within the community. On the other hand, we are on the eve of the evolution towards the complete neutrality of our presence on the planet. A passage that requires everyone’s attention and commitment, including the elderly, to research and science, both to mitigate the damage of global warming and to prepare for the turning point imposed by the complete neutrality of intelligent beings from evolution of the planet. A passage that will bring major social changes for the potential acceleration of development and the smooth transition from the long era of scarcity to the not-so-distant future of abundance. The prospects offered by the ongoing evolution would make it necessary to make structural changes to societies, which should rely on the opinions of the majority of communities for general guidelines in economics. Let us not forget that the anomalies of the business cycle are first felt by the communities who change investment and consumption decisions as a result of their intuition and in coherence with the universal laws that administrate the universe and at the same time influence the development of the economy. The need for a quasi-constitutional law is strongly recalled reducing tensions between social classes, rich and poor, the elderly and the new generations and so on.
