!!!Seniorenpolitik

Senior Citizens Policy, of growing importance in Austria due to 
increasing life expectancy and difficulties in providing funds for 
protection and assistance in old-age. However, the senior 
citizens´ associations of the major Austrian parties have only 
limited political influence. The "Verband der oesterreichischen 
Rentner und Pensionisten" (Association of Austrian Senior 
Citizens) of the Social Democrats (SPOe) counted 307,000 members in 
1990; the "Oesterreichischer Seniorenbund" (Austrian 
Organization of Senior Citizens) of the Austrian People´s Party 
(OeVP) had 233,000 members in 1989. A successful senior 
citizens´ party has not yet been established in Austria.
