Different countries, including Lithuania, meet economic and social challenges and changes in the sector of social security. The anticipation of the problems and taking actions for the prevention of their after-effects, which may occur in future, is especially important, taking in to the account the projection of population ageing. This work analysis the challenges for social and labour market policy, arising from the ageing of the population. Main purpose of the work is to unfold the point of view of different age groups, women and men, about the ageing process of the population and the challenges of this process for state social and labour market, as well as discovering the opinion of the questioned groups of the ways for solving the problems, caused by the process. Therefore, a survey for the implementation of this purpose has been performed. 100 respondents in the age of 30-69 age have been questioned during this survey. The data of this survey do not reflect the opinion of all Lithuanian inhabitants about the challenges, changes and problems, arising due to the population ageing. This is just a tendency for seeing some particular consistent patterns. Essence and reasons of population ageing, world wide and Lithuanian ageing tendencies, state policy on elderly people are being reviewed in this work. Currently have the rates of population ageing due to the reduced birth rate and high emigration level in Lithuania signally quickened. Responding to the challenges, caused by the aging process, and trying to temper the problems, caused by it, the State has passed the new laws: “Law on the Employment of the Population” and “Law on Social services”. Both of the new laws give more attention to the solving of the problems of elderly people and securing of their wealth. The results of the performed survey showed, that the most of the respondents lack knowledge about the real scale of population ageing process in our country. Most of the respondents estimate the ageing process of the population as negative, and their attitude to the elderly people is controversial. Therefore, trying to solve the challenges of the population ageing, firstly the attitude of the society to the population ageing process should be changed. The senescent society should be understood as the opening of new possibilities.
