Older Persons Day is observed in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan every October 1, coinciding with the International Day of Older Persons established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1990. This day serves as an official commemoration in both countries, although it is not a public holiday. The observance aims to highlight the contributions of older persons to society and address issues they face, such as social protection and healthcare. On this day, retirees typically receive a one-time welfare payment, and various festive events are organized, including concerts, exhibitions, and charity events. In some regions of Kazakhstan, the entire month of October is designated as the "month of support for the elderly." The growing elderly population in both countries underscores the need for enhanced social security systems to improve the quality of life for older persons.
