Seniors<\/h1>
<\/div>

Demographic change has long since arrived in Wiesbaden. Currently, 20 percent of Wiesbadeners are over 65 years old. Municipal senior citizens' policy faces major challenges in the face of social and demographic structural change. We Greens want to promote the needs of older people in social policy initiatives: In the areas of health and care, but also education, culture and participation. Self-determination and the preservation of the independence of older people are of particular concern to us. We advocate for diverse age images and see potential for urban society in the age phase of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
