Ageing is process that is always gendered. Gender shapes the life biography and the norms and expectations that are imposed on individuals as they age. On the other hand, the experience of ageing affects the mechanism of creating and negotiating gender identity. This article critically discusses debates surrounding gender inequalities in old age. These debates often focus on older women as a group that is highly disadvantaged owing to the combined effects of sexism and ageism. This article critically discusses this 'problem of old women' and shows alternative views of women's experiences of ageing. It highlights the necessity to understand age and gender as two intertwining systems. It points out that ageing can in many respects create room for a redefinition of gender roles and expectation. The intersection of age and gender cannot be seen as a simple combination of two categories and must instead be viewed as a process that creates a specific social location, which can generate new forms of inequalities.

The article deals with educational aspirations of young people. This undoubtedly is an important type of aspirations for it provides information not only about the dominating models and norms, e.g. those relating to the labour market and life styles, but also about the condition of various social-vocational groups, changes in the stratification hierarchy and openness of the social structure and the educational system itself. The article is based on the results of empirical research carried out in two voivodeships which differ considerably in terms of educational, economic and social characteristics - Dolnoslaskie and Warminsko-Mazurskie. The research was conducted with the help of a questionnaire in the selected schools of the two voivodeships.

This article focuses on the intersection of gender, class and racial/ethnic inequalities. The intersection theory draws on the feminist critique of traditional class theory and on the challenge to feminism posed by ethnic women. The article develops thinking about various configurations of the intersection of inequalities and addresses mainly the case of marginalized women. However, the argument goes that the intersection of gender, class and racial/ethnic inequalities is not just a matter for disadvantaged groups because it has an impact on all groups in various relations. Class, gender and race/ethnicity should be understood as interlocked systems of both disadvantage and privilege. The intersection of inequalities is an approach intertwined with the development of social movements (women's, labour and civil rights movements) in the USA and Western Europe. The article looks at why the intersection theory elaborated in the West mainly in the 1990s has not been reflected in Czech gender studies. Is it possible to connect the study of gender in a post-communist East European country with the predominantly American intersection theory?

The article deals with consumption inequalities in Slovakia. Analysing household consumption behaviour is very important due to the existence of linkages between consumption and development on the labour market and it is also particularly important in regard to population ageing, as Slovakia belongs to the group of EU Member States moving from the youngest population at present to the oldest ones in the future. Through identifying expenditure elasticities by employing the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) in the analysis of nine groups of consumer goods and services we were able to define what low and high income households consider luxury goods and necessity goods. The results suggest that the development of income inequalities in Slovakia is not fully traced by consumption inequalities and that the financial and economic crisis has played an important role in determining consumption inequalities between low and high income households.
