Abstract

The problems of the elderly population are very complex in terms of social, health and psychological aspects. These problems need to be addressed to improve the welfare of the elderly. The older the elderly, the more problems experienced by the elderly appear. To minimize the problems of the elderly, social support is needed to improve the welfare of the elderly. Aspects of social support needed are religion, health, job opportunities, education and training, social protection and social assistance. This study aimed to determine the effect of social support on the welfare of the elderly. The method used for analysis is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that social support in the form of health factors and social assistance had a positive effect on welfare with a p value of less than 0.05 (p <0.05). Meanwhile, social support such as religious factors, job opportunities, education and social protection did not affect the welfare of the elderly with a p value greater than 0.05 (p>0.05).
