ABSTRACT

A demographic bonus is indicated by the increasing number of elderly people and life expectancy of a community. Having a large amount of experience, skills and wisdom, it is important for the elderly to maintain their productivity. Therefore, a constructive effort is required. This research aims to find ways for the elderly to maintain participation in the community without being a burden to the family. Likewise, a life-skill intervention program was administered to maintain the independence of the elderly. This study discusses the raw food material processing training provided to the elderly people as a lifelong-learning education process.
