Abstract

People over 65 years of age attach great importance to different social benefits. Based on a sample of 1200 subjects, it is observed that the most valued social benefits are related to the problem that directly affects the elderly: health conditions, limitations in their activities of daily life and dependence. Next in importance are all those benefits related to socio-cultural activities, leisure, interpersonal relations and travel, evaluating in parallel the special discounts that are provided for this purpose. There is a clear inverse relationship between health (and age) and the valuation of socio-cultural benefits, company benefits and assistance in activities related to partial dependence.
