Demographic development is happening across the world and, according to WHO (2021), between 2015 and 2050, the share of the world's population over the age of 60 will almost double from 12% to 22%. The purpose of the project is to develop understanding and gain deeper knowledge of Norwegian, Brazilian and Slovakian perception of aging and public health with a focus on the elderly. The project "Development of public health policy for the elderly in Brazil, Norway and Slovakia (UFEBNS)" will include two qualitative studies. For researchers in this project, it is important to understand how public health policy documents describe the elderly and prevent violence against the elderly. Thus, the project will contribute to innovation to improve health promotion for the elderly and the prevention of violence against elderly residents of Norwegian, Slovakian and Brazilian society.
