The article presents main operating principles of the family care homes for older people. The thesis is based on the own research, conducted in 2010 in four family care homes in Gdańsk. Although there are few such institutions, they would be an alternative to the nursing and retirement homes. They are cheaper and more welcoming – and, paradoxically, they cannot guarantee that the all needs of their residents would be met.

This paper focuses on the issue of surveying older people. Increasing interest in the issue of ageing and old age has been accompanied by infrequent debate on the methodological pitfalls that might influence research into this specific, albeit very heterogeneous population. Interviewers routinely complete post-interview questions that provide important information on such criteria as respondent difficulty in answering the questions posed. This article examines such difficulty in terms of interviewer and respondent characteristics. It investigates three potential explanations of why interviewers judge an interview as difficult: (1) interviewer characteristics (age and gender), (2) socio-demographic characteristics of the respondent and (3) respondents’ sense of well-being. The data used in this study were obtained from four surveys conducted with older people in the Czech Republic between 2007 and 2011. These surveys explored ageing and old age. The findings show the crucial importance of respondents’ sense of well-being and level of education. No interviewer age or gender effects were observed.

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.

The study falls into interactive stylistics. It deals with forms of accommodation-assimilation processes in communication between young and elderly, while examples from research material are from the perspective of older people. The accommodation-assimilation processes in interaction with seniors are influenced both by the stereotypes associated with these people and by the individual personality of both communication partners. We distinguish between over accommodation and under accommodation. The over accommodation is language ageism or patronizing communication and is perceived negatively as it leads to underestimation of elderly and their negative self-image. Under accommodation is perceived as not respecting the elderly and may lead to social exclusion of the elderly because they feel inferior and uneducated in such communication. The paper emphasizes the importance of optimal accommodation-assimilation processes in intergenerational communication, which is based on the individuality of both interactors and should lead to convergence of generations and to social inclusion.

It’s believed that older people are potentially rich source of volunteers and volunteering is perceived as beneficial for both society and individuals. Due to the ageing of the population, the influence of individual ageing on volunteering has become crucial. The age and cohort connections of volunteering in Czech society are explored in this paper. Moreover, the factors leading to volunteering are researched using binary logistic regression. Focus is put on changes over time and differences between older people and younger ones. The findings do not show differences in volunteering based on age but demonstrate that the attitudes supported by productive ageing and active ageing concepts are influential. The rate of volunteering in Czech society has not changed since the beginning of the 90s.

In this paper we assert that concept of employability can be successfully used for identification of strengths and weaknesses of people disadvantaged in contemporary labour markets (such as graduates, disabled, older people, etc.). Firstly we briefly present and operationalize the concept of employability in four dimensions we have already discussed earlier: human and social capital, adaptability and flexibility, career identity, and institutional conditions on labour market (Horáková – Horák 2013). In the remaining text we apply the concept of employability in the case study of a local project aimed at increasing the employability and finding a job for its unemployed participants.
