Abstract
The article analyzes ideas about old age in young people. The world is undergoing demographic aging, which implies an increase in the number of disabled citizens. Old people differ in their biological, social and psychological characteristics. Young people imagine old age as a time of loss, illness, helplessness, when a person needs care and attention. They also celebrate acquisitions (wisdom, calmness, experience) and believe that old people should maintain the quality of life and interest in life.
