Did you know that the Silver Economy accounted for over 78 million of jobs in the EU in 2015? That almost half of all women aged 85 and over were living alone in the EU-28? That the elderly people were more likely to be living alone in urban areas? That more than one third of the elderly aged 65-74 used the internet at least once a week?
