	The role of local government in shaping active ageing through the use of ICT and e-services
	This article aims to identify opportunities to shaping and supporting the active ageing by local
	governments through the use of ICT and e-services in the Wielkopolska Province. At the local level,
	only 8% of local governments have entries in the strategic documents for supporting the elderly
	through ICT. The study found that supporting active ageing is different for rural communities, urban
	and urban-rural areas as well as Social Welfare Centers operating at various levels of the government.
	In the context of demographic projections an opportunity for development of the region is that 80%
	of local governments need to implement schemes for the use of ICT and e-services to support active
	ageing in ways to improve communication, mobility, health and safety. Representatives of over 50%
	of the Social Welfare Centers and about 30% of local governments decided that the basic benefits
	include improving the functioning of elderly people at home and work, and in the community as well
	as better health and increased self-reliance. The digital society will see an increasing demand of the
	elderly for e-social services, as opposed to e-government services.
