Abstract:

Abstract Improving the knowledge on population ageing, particularly in province La Habana, becomes a relevant matter. It is well known, that in some of its municipalities, lives a quite large number of elderly people. This article describes, according to several demographics indicators the changes in its geographic distribution. For the analysis, data of population censuses 2002 and 2012 were used. The study focused on information regarding municipalities and districts. The distribution of this population group could be stated and some features on educational level and occupation. The results allowed the identification of regularities or differences on spatial distribution. This information can be quite useful for decisions makers dealing with the design of public politics on elderly people.
