Economic and legal instruments of local senior policy in the level of municipalities

Originality/Value: So far, the literature has dealt mainly with the topic of the silver economy in the context of factors influencing economic processes and the use of the potential of older people, taking into account their needs. This article is an attempt at instrumental approach to senior policy (legal and economic instruments) used by municipalities in Poland. The study indicates that the pool of instruments used is extremely poor and incoherent, and it is difficult to speak of a coordinated, comprehensive senior policy implemented by municipalities, in the absence of appropriate legal solutions at the central level.
