The paper is motivated by concerns about challenges posed by the aging society problem and focuses on the silver economy (SE) as a social and economic concept developed in response to this challenge. Conducted analyses dealt with strategic planning of the SE development in Polish voivodeships. An original indicator showing the willingness of the self-government of a voivodeship to support SE development was worked out (I_PWSSE). We also analyzed opinions of local authorities asked to assess the importance of the inclusion of the idea of the SE in the municipalities. The following hypotheses have been adopted: H1 – the higher the growth rate of the voivodeship population potential in terms of SE, the higher the indicator of the regional government policy willingness to support the SE; H2 – in voivodeships which reported higher (I_PWSSE) indicator, municipalities interest in supporting the SE will also be higher. The research hypotheses were verified negatively.

本文是出于对老龄化社会问题带来的挑战的关注而展开的，并将重点放在白银经济（SE）上，作为应对这一挑战而发展的一种社会和经济概念。进行的分析涉及波兰各省东南发展的战略规划。制定了一项原始指标，表明了自治政府支持SE发展的意愿（I _PWSSE）。我们还分析了当地政府的意见，这些意见被要求评估在城市中纳入SE的重要性。采用以下假设：H1 –就东南经济而言，各省人口潜力的增长率越高，表明区域政府支持东南经济的政策意愿越高。H2 –在报告较高的省（I _PWSSE）指标中，市政当局对支持SE的兴趣也将更高。研究假设被否定了。
