PEMBERDAYAAN LANSIA MELALUI PENINGKATAN AKTIVITAS PRODUKTIF DI DESA JANGGAN KECAMATAN PONCOL KABUPATEN MAGETAN

The aim of this research is to see how the Elderly Empowerment program is through Increasing Productive Activities in Janggan Village, Poncol District, Magetan Regency. In life, growing old is a certain thing. Elderly is a life cycle that every elderly person will go through. The image of us being elderly in everyone's mind is that of an old grandmother or grandfather who is helpless and weak because of age, but from this general perspective we can change our perspective by empowering the elderly well so that in old age they do not suffer and feeling unhappy for the rest of his life.
This research is a type of qualitative research research. This is a research method based on postpositivism which is used to examine natural objects, where the researcher is the key instrument, sampling data, data sources are carried out purposively and snowballing, collection techniques are triagulation (combined), data analysis is inductive/qualitative.
The results of this research indicate that the empowerment program that took place in Janggan Village, Poncol District, Magetan Regency was not successful because the program was Project Based oriented. This program has not been successful in increasing activity towards the program provided by the village. The activities carried out at Mawar Indah Elderly Family Development (BKL), Janggan Village, are deemed to be less effective if we want to increase the productive activities of the elderly because there are several factors, such as the Village Government not supporting it in terms of policy.
