The observed collapse of demographic pyramid increases the tension on the social security systems, especially pensions. It implies a requirement to extend the retirement age. On the basis of Eurobarometer 65.1 we calculate difference between expected and preferred retirement age in Poland. Then we show the determinants of individual differences. Particular attention is paid to the problem of non-random missing observations.

The paper focuses on the union formation in later life using SHARELIFE data from 13 European countries. First, it shows that proportion of single individuals aged 50-69 and the proportion of those who (re)partner vary significantly across European countries. The highest levels of (re)partnering were observed in Scandinavia and the lowest in Southern and Central Europe. Second, it shows that women are much less likely to enter a new coresidential union than men in all studied countries but the relative difference between men and women vary. The smallest difference was observed in Scandinavia and the Czech Republic, the largest in Southern Europe, Austria, and Switzerland. Third, repartnered individuals tend to be younger, more educated, and more likely divorced than widowed comparing to those who stay single.

The South Korean pension system is a staterun PAYG social insurance system that has largely managed to avoid key problems common elsewhere. General state pensions arrived on the scene relatively late – in 1988 – in an economy dominated by small family firms and a familial social protection system. Despite financial surpluses, the system underwent two major reforms focused on sustainability, in 1997 and 2007. Recent discussions also highlight adequacy and old age poverty, with the prospect of rapid population ageing. Korea has combined PAYG finance with a large pension reserve – the second largest sovereign fund in the world – whilst also managing to preserve the unity of the system by applying common rules.

Ciało we współczesnym społeczeństwie pełni rolę swoistej waluty, stając się cenionym dobrem. Promowane jest ciało młode – sprawne i zdrowe, stąd większość poszukiwań badawczych dotyczy młodych osób. Z uwagi jednak na starzenie się społeczeństw coraz więcej badaczy podejmuje problem doświadczania własnej cielesności w grupie osób w średnim i starszym wieku. Celem artykułu jest analiza badań poświęconych cielesności w grupie osób starszych i próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, na ile kult ciała dotyczy także tej grupy. Wyniki doniesień są często sprzeczne i trudno jednoznacznie wskazać, na ile zadowolenie z ciała zmienia się na przestrzeni życia, a także na ile zdrowie i sprawność fizyczna stają się ważniejsze niż atrakcyjny wygląd u osób starszych.

In modern society body plays significant role, thus becoming a great value. As young and healthy body is promoted, the majority of research explorations focuses on young people. However, due to ageing societies, more and more researchers investigate the problem of experiencing one’s body by middle-aged and elderly people. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the research on body in a group of elderly people. Also, the article attempts to answer the question as to what extent the cult of body can refer to this group. The results of research are often contradictory and it is difficult to clearly indicate how satisfaction with body changes across the life span and to what extent health and fitness become more important than looking attractive in elderly people.

The process of ageing is accompanied by changes in the structure and appearance of the skin and its appendages. The article examines descriptions of people advanced in age to be found in the works of Roman authors from the period of the Principate, e.g. Horace, Ovid, Martial, Juvenal. Using input from this written recordthe author presents a brief overview of attributes of old age associated with appearance. Next, a closer look is taken at informations afforded by Ovid, Pliny the Elder, Celsus and Dioscurides on cosmetics and cosmetic treatments used during Classical Antiquity to delay the process of skin ageing and conceal the wastages caused by ageing.

Although important demographic shifts have generated both an interest and profound transformations in sociocultural interpretations of ageing and old age, the experience of growing older is still perceived negatively and is often measured according to how successfully people adapt to the current Western ideals of later life. In the light of recent research on cultural and literary representations of ageing, this article critically addresses contemporary American writer Erica Jong’s mid-life and later works from feminist and gender perspectives. It shows how the author’s writings contest the narrative of decline and ageism and incorporate some aspects of positive ageing in terms of body image. Yet, instead of following the model of successful ageing, Jong offers alternative views of ageing femininities and sexuality that enable a different narrative of growing older to emerge. The writer’s work also shows that socially and culturally constructed gender and power relationships can be deconstructed, which allows for new forms of self-expression that are not moulded into anti-ageing discourses and their neoliberal imperatives.

The aging of the population in Europe brings an increase in the group of people 65+, which is important to reflect on not only from the perspective of state governance in developing strategies and finding solutions to aging-related phenomena such as the growing economic dependence of older people, but it is also necessary to pay attention to this in terms of the theory and practice of human resources and age management within using the employment potential of older people in the labor market. The article focuses on the employment potential index of older people (EPIOP) and on the characterization of the factors which were used to create EPIOP and subsequently to monitor its development in the European Union (EU 28) during the years 2008-2018. The data were obtained from Eurostat and UNECE databases. The findings indicate that the indices of the individual countries had a predominantly increasing trend and converged with the EU 28 average, and none of the countries monitored in the index fell below the base year 2008 throughout the period under review. Latvia (23%), Bulgaria (23%) and Cyprus (19%) had significantly higher growth rates compared to the base year. The lowest EPIOP grew in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. The EU 28 average had a maximum growth rate of 9%.

Uwzględniając fiskalne znaczenie opodatkowania konsumpcji oraz rosnące znaczenie wydatków konsumpcyjnych w starzejącym się społeczeństwie, artykuł podejmuje próbę określenia warunków redystrybucyjnej neutralności opodatkowania konsumpcji w przypadkach, kiedy dobra różnią się strukturą podziału obciążeń fiskalnych między producenta i konsumenta. Zróżnicowanie stopnia incydencji, czyli zdolności przerzucenia podatku na konsumenta, wymaga uwzględnienia nie tylko cenowej elastyczności popytu, lecz także przypadków, kiedy zachowania rynkowe różnią się w zależności od wieku konsumenta. Problem neutralności redystrybucyjnej podatków konsumpcyjnych jest ważny ze względu na różnice w strukturze konsumpcji zależne od wieku konsumentów. Celem artykułu jest budowa prostego modelu neutralności redystrybucyjnej opodatkowania dóbr charakteryzujących się znacznym zróżnicowaniem elastyczności popytu ze względu na wiek konsumentów.

Taking into account the role of consumption taxes as the source of public revenues and the growing propensity to consume characteristic of the aging society, the paper focuses on an investigation of the conditions of the redistributive neutrality of consumption taxation in a situation when particular goods are marked by a different distribution of tax burden between consumer and seller. The study attempts to define the rule of diversification of consumption tax rates which will compensate for a different market effect (price elasticity) leading to a decrease in the wealth of consumers differentiated by age (age elasticity). The issue of the redistributive neutrality of consumption taxes is crucial because of lifetime differences in consumption. The aim of the paper is to construct a simple model of the redistributive effects induced by consumption taxes.

Учитывая фискальное значение налогообложения потребления, а также растущее значение потребительских расходов в стареющем обществе, в статье предпринимается попытка определить условия перераспределительной нейтральности налогообложения потребления в случаях, когда блага различаются структурой деления фискальных нагрузок между производителем и потребителем. Дифференциация степени инцидентности, т.е. способности перебросить налог на потребителя, требует учета не только ценовойэластичности спроса, но также случаев, когда рыночное поведение различается в зависимости от возраста потребителя. Вопрос перераспределительной нейтральности налогообложения благ важен ввиду различий в структуре потребления по возрастам. Целью статьи является построение простой модели перераспредельной нейтральности налогообложения благ, характеризующихся значительной дифференциацией эластичности спроса в зависимости от возраста потребителей.

In the second half of the 20th century, the history of European demography is associated with a pronounced and widespread process of ageing. The 21st century will have to cater to the needs of an elderly population in transformation. Portugal is also part of this process and in efforts to improve the quality of life of the elderly, a wide range of facilities, services and social responses have been established by a variety of promoters, targeting several social levels. This paper will analyze a specific segment directed at an exclusive niche of the elderly population, the Senior Residential Condominiums. This is a very recent segment of the housing market, with high levels of comfort, quality, sanitation, health, and recreation, essential to full well-being. The paper intends to characterize this real estate market niche so as to identify its distinctive features, the promoting agents and how they can contribute to residents' quality of life.

Information technology evolves in order to meet the needs of ageing society. Despite the life-long learning perspective and availability of ICT courses, studies indicate that only a limited number of seniors take full advantage of possibilities given by mobile technology and the Internet. The question arises if the old are part of the Information Society or they are excluded from it. This article provides evidence that seniors underutilise the ICT devices and e-services and indicates the main lines of the recent debates on the current need for ICT education among older adults. The analysis of seniors’ ICT competence is based on a literature survey.

Population decline confronts almost all the countries ofCentral and Eastern Europe. Total world population may be declining before the end of this century. Despite that, is a neglected topic in demography, its analysis and its consequences overshadowed by the problem of population ageing. This paper shows that population decline is a diverse phenomenon. The process of decline, and its end-product of smaller population size, have different consequences. Modest rates of decline may be manageable and scarcely perceptible. Smaller population size may be irrelevant to most aspects of political, social and economic welfare and beneficial for environment and sustainability. In the future, adaptation to it may in any case become unavoidable.

Rural areas are frequently considered as likely to generate isolation, loneliness and risks of social exclusion for vulnerable people who live there. With investigations in two types of rural areas – fragile rural environments and rural areas subject to periurbanisation, we analyse interactions between the characteristics of the populations and characteristics of territories in the occurrence of social segregation and exclusion processes. Th e analysis will be based on the situation of pensioners and elderly people. We will show how residential and social trajectories of the people constitute an essential factor of inclusion vs exclusion in these territories.

The main aim of this paper is to juxtapose the normative aspect of intergenerational solidarity with specific care practices against the backdrop of Poland’s public debate on social expectations, costs and changes needed in the system of pensions and social benefits offered to elderly citizens (the systemic context of intergenerational solidarity). The paper presents grandparents’ practices in offering care to their grandchildren and children’s practices in supporting their elderly parents. Such practices originate not as much from the emotional aspect of intergenerational solidarity as from culture-defined expectations of specific age categories, reinforced by unavailability of public care institutions. The analysis, based on qualitative and quantitative data, finds that intergenerational solidarity in Poland is a source of multiple tensions (including gender-related ones).
