Older people making son rise (7)

I believe the answer is:

seniors

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'older people' is the definition.
'seniors' can be an answer for 'people' (senior is a kind of person). I'm not sure about the 'older' bit.

'making son rise' is the wordplay.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'son'+'rise'='sonrise'
'sonrise' with letters rearranged gives 'SENIORS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
