The relevance of the problem, which is considered in this article, is due to the aging of the working-age population and the relative increase in the number of people in older age groups, which is observed in many civilized countries, including Ukraine [1]. According to the classification of the International Labor Organization (ILO), persons aged 45 and over are classified as elderly workers [2]. In most countries, the average age of the category of workers is constantly increasing. According to the ILO forecasts, by 2025 the percentage of people aged 55 among the population will be: in Europe – 32%, in North America – 30%, in Asia – 21%. In Ukraine, today people of retirement age make up about 25% of the total population [2].
