The paper presents the results of a qualitative study in the lives of people with inadequate functional literacy skills. The data were collected through a biographical interview with a respondent whose characteristics correspond to those of a hypothetical person likely to exhibit signs of low functional literacy. The characteristics, such as gender, age, parental education achievements and job history, of this hypothetical person have been derived from the results of research into adult functional literacy undertaken in the Czech Republic in 1998-International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). The analysis of the qualitative data focuses on three domains of the respondent's life, namely the family life, school years, and the life style. The paper identifies the coping strategies used by the respondent in everyday life.

Activity is currently an integral part of the ageing concepts and is becoming more of a normative pressure to select and perform "appropriate" activities in old age. Therefore, the paper focuses on the determinants of the active lifestyle and their change with age. It confirms the influence of age and health on the inclination towards a more passive way of life and the limitation of the number of activities with age. However, there is also a strong conditionality by cultural, economic and social capital. People with higher levels of capitals have a more pro-active lifestyle and fulfil a wider range of activities. There is also a certain tension between the preference of active lifestyle in old age and the lower level of actual fulfilment in older age.
