The acceleration of population aging in Iran has reached a level where the growth rate of the elderly population is estimated to be several times that of the total population, with projections indicating an increase in the share of elderly individuals to approximately 30 percent by the 2050 horizon—a situation carrying widespread psychological and social consequences. Within this framework, although numerous documents and laws mention the necessity of supporting the elderly—including Article 29 of the Constitution, general population and family policies, the Sixth Development Plan Law, the Health Transformation Plan, the Comprehensive Welfare and Social Security System Structure Law, as well as the establishment of the National Secretariat for the Elderly and the approval of the National Document on Aging—the core issue is not a shortage of laws, but rather poor implementation and the absence of a designated authority in aging policymaking. Experience demonstrates that the social and policy sensitivity commensurate with the importance of this phenomenon has not yet been fostered among decision-makers, and many bylaws have either not been drafted or remain unimplemented. Accordingly, it is proposed that the Islamic Consultative Assembly place aging on the agenda of various commissions as a cross-sectoral priority and strengthen the necessary legal mandates for executive agencies. Furthermore, lifestyle modification from middle age, the design of media programs to increase public awareness, the expansion of elderly social participation, the strengthening of insurance coverage and medical services, the adaptation of urban spaces, and planning for pre-retirement education are presented as strategic axes of social policy for aging.
