Taking this into consideration, some analysis have been made around the process of rural elderly acquiring security right as well as the participation of rural elderly representative entities in this process of social changing. Furthermore, relevant reflections have also been developed on how rural retirement impacts the rural retiree and their family lives as well as the local economy.
