Through the White Charter, SenioriNET Federation proposes the respect of some basic rights, as a large number of elderly people live in very difficult conditions, without being able to fully cover their food, medicine or monthly utilities from their pension amount.

The relationship between the elderly and state institutions is vital in today’s society. Some institutions have as their activities: analysis of the lives of pensioners, analysis of pensions and the health system.

In this context, technology can facilitate the relationship between the two entities, providing useful channels of communication in identifying problems faced by the elderly.
