!!!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.
