Abstract
Discussions about lansia have been increasingly important due to the increasing numbers of them. This is enabled by the improvement of economic and social condition of the society. Lansia is different from other group of people mainly in terms of health and needs aspects. During 1990-2000, lansia has grown 1,8% averagely and during 2000-2005 the growth has increased to 2,4% to form more than 311.000 people (9,2 % of population). Description of lansia in Bali is done based on data of Population Census, Supas, and Sakernas. The result shows that most of them are not cost of development, in fact, they are development assets. This can be seen from several indicators, like (1) more than 80% of lansia has “good” and “fair” health condition; (2) almost 80% of lansia do not need assistance in doing activities; (3) unemployment rate of lansia is very low (<1,0%). Sixty percent of working lansia are employed in agriculture sector, and the rest are in trading, hotel& restaurant, and manufacturing industry respectively.
