“…We found less pronounced residential clustering of the elderly (aged 75 years and over) in areas with positive demographic dynamics, such as in‐migration and lower fertility rates, particularly in the Riga metropolitan region. Similarly to other case studies conducted in CEE countries, our results show that the proportion of the elderly population is growing in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas, with the growth being more rapid in nonmetropolitan regions (Kačerova et al, 2022; Kurek et al, 2020; Vaishar et al, 2020). At the same time, the increase in the share of children is exclusively limited to the metropolitan area.…”

“…Meanwhile, the share of the pre-working age population in the cores of Polish functional urban areas is lower than in their peripheries (Kurek et al, 2020(Kurek et al, , 2021. There is greater spatial differentiation and dependence based on the size of the functional urban area.…”

“…However, in Poland, there has been a decline in the rate of ageing in the largest functional urban areas due to suburbanization and reurbanization. Meanwhile, the share of the pre‐working age population in the cores of Polish functional urban areas is lower than in their peripheries (Kurek et al, 2020, 2021). There is greater spatial differentiation and dependence based on the size of the functional urban area.…”

“…Suburban growth has contributed to demographic inequalities between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions in Latvia, as in other CEE nations. Many of the region's core cities nowadays are characterized by reurbanization trends as well as ongoing parallel suburbanization processes in the city peripheries (Haase et al, 2010; Horňáková & Sýkora, 2021; Istrate et al, 2015; Krisjane & Berzins, 2012; Kurek et al, 2020; Ubarevičienė & Burneika, 2020).…”

The twin phenomena of ageing populations and declining populations are profoundly transforming societies and economies in Europe. Driven by decreasing fertility rates and the continuing increased life expectancy, populations have not been ageing uniformly across time and space. In an increasingly urbanized world, the spatial distribution of the young and the elderly is a matter of growing scholarly and policy interest. In Europe, this process is more pronounced in peripheral areas than in the core regions, while the development of metropolitan areas is associated with suburbanization predominantly driven by young in‐migrants. Latvia is an interesting case study for studying population ageing and its spatial imbalances due to the key role of emigration in population decline and ageing. By employing descriptive and spatial analysis, this study uses data from the Latvian census and population register to explore the relationships between population change and ageing processes. Global Moran's I and the local indicators of spatial association were used to identify spatial systems. The study confirmed global and local spatial autocorrelation for the both examined age variables. Using the Getis‐Ord Gi* method identified spatial clusters of the young and the elderly. We found more pronounced residential clustering of the elderly aged 75 and over in the depopulating region of Latgale, whereas the Riga metropolitan region and areas around the largest towns tend to cluster young residents.

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the aging population is witnessing a new disease pattern comprised of multiple comorbidities of age‐related chronic diseases that appear to significantly impact on the mental, cognitive, and physical wellbeing with a consequent accentuated vulnerability which predisposes every older subject to a high risk of geriatric syndromes, hospitalization, and disability. Moreover, population aging accelerates all over the world 1 . In the European Union, the number of people over 65 is expected to increase from 85 million in 2008 to 151 million in 2060 2 .…”

Summary As now well established, the world population is aging rapidly and, according to World Health Organization (WHO), the amount of people aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion in 2050. For this reason, an emerging important issue is the definition of a new generation of healthcare platforms capable of monitoring people's quality of life. In this article, we propose a new methodology that supports the entire requirement elicitation process starting from the initial phase of gathering the requirements, both clinical, technological, and end‐user, up to the choice of the most suitable solution. Our proposal provides a new new iterative model in the smart healthcare field research area. Furthermore we apply our proposal in a real scenario and we report the end‐to‐end implementation of the proposed methodology.

Major transformations in the sphere of the economy that Industry 4.0 brings are also reflected in young people’s expectations regarding the development of their professional career. Existing social relations are being modified nowadays and new concepts of building them are being developed. The aim of the present article is to present the expectations, fears and hopes of young people related to the course of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in the context of their future life. For a simpler perception of the research objectives of students, the research was narrowed down to the topic of building relationships with robots, which are one of the pillars of Industry 4.0. The research methods are based on the literature studies and an experiment conducted among the students graduating from economic faculties and entering a strongly changing labour market. The experiment was qualitative. The students wrote a short essay on the topic of whether a friendship between a human and a robot is possible. One group of students was shown a short emotional clip about the relationship between the boy and the robot. Regardless of the attempt to influence the message with a film, both groups of students hardly noticed the negative effects of digitisation on building relationships and social trust. The relationship between human being and advanced technology will develop in the future, which will result in the emergence of new relationships between humans and artificial intelligence.
