The employment rate of persons in older age groups in Poland is far lower than in European Union, and - additionally - has been decreasing significantly during recent years. Moreover, average level of exit age from the labour force in Poland is also lower than in the European Union. Negative economic and social consequences of the aging of the population (including labour force) need actions for the increase of the employment of elderly persons, i.e. extending their vocational activity period. The analysis presents actions for the extension of vocational life that were already undertaken in Poland, and indicates areas where the actions were not undertaken at all, or delayed.
