title: Redistribution of the elderly population in Poland:  regional and rural-urban dimensions.
abstract: "The present paper looks into spatial patterns of the elderly population and the recent configurations of elderly migration in Poland....Compared with other countries in Europe, the ageing of the population of Poland is neither very advanced nor particularly rapid. However, spatial concentration of the elderly population, as well as specific patterns of its redistribution, generate a number of policy issues on the regional and local level.  Such problems range from the provision of specialized services to the maintenance of housing and the utilization of farmland."
