seniorikäisiä

Seniorikäisiä is a Finnish term that broadly refers to individuals who are considered elderly or of senior age. It does not denote a specific age cutoff but rather a life stage characterized by older adulthood. The concept often encompasses individuals who have retired from full-time employment, though this is not a strict requirement.

Societal perceptions and the definition of "seniorikäisiä" can vary. In some contexts, it might align with the age at which one becomes eligible for state pensions or senior-specific discounts and services. However, the emphasis is often more on a general sense of being in later life, with accumulated experience and potentially different lifestyle priorities compared to younger adults.

The term is commonly used in discussions related to social services, healthcare, leisure activities, and public policy aimed at supporting or engaging older populations. It reflects a recognition of a distinct demographic group with unique needs and contributions to society. The focus is typically on well-being, health, and maintaining an active role in community life.
