The issue undertaken in this essay focuses on the matter of life satisfaction of older people. The purpose was to create a typology of older people with the use of independent variables (the care needs; the goodness of relations with close persons; social activity) and characterize the types by especially quality of life indicators – whole and current life satisfaction (dependent variables). Socio-ecological health model and a life span development approach were the theoretical base of the study. The research was conducted in day care homes in Poznań on a sample of 84 volunteers – elderly day care home residents. The following trial set of questionnaires have been completed by the investigated group: Questionnaire of Personal Details and RANaF (Relations, Activity, Care Needs and their Fulfillment) Questionnaire both made by author and Life Satisfaction Scale. Cluster analysis was made in this research. Four main types of older people were distinguished: 1) family; 2) socially passive; 3) compensatory and 4) socially active type. To sum up, findings of the research have led to following conclusions: 1) relations with close persons and social activity is a significant predictor of current life satisfaction of elderly day care home residents: a) social activity has no significance for current life satisfaction of younger elderly, if their relations with close persons are satisfying, b) social activity in conjunction with relations with close persons are significant predictors of current life satisfaction for older elderly; 2) good relations with close persons and high social activity perform a protective function of pathological aging process: a) high social activity is connected with lower care needs and greater independence in activities of daily living in the group of older elderly; 3) subjective health status is a secondary predictor of life satisfaction, considering relations with close persons and social activity as a prime predictors of current life satisfaction.

Niniejszy artykuł ma dwojaki cel: podkreślenie potencjału i ograniczeń nowego prawa do żądania elastycznej organizacji pracy w celach opiekuńczych, ustanowionego w dyrektywie nr 2019/1158, oraz rozważenie, poprzez przegląd prawa UE, czy i w jakim stopniu prawo to można interpretować w sposób, który rzeczywiście faworyzuje interesy pracowników mających obowiązki opiekuńcze nad interesami pracodawców.W artykule przeanalizowano niektóre przykłady podejść przyjętych w odniesieniu do wdrażania prawa do żądania elastycznej organizacji pracy w dwóch różnych jurysdykcjach, takich jak Niemcy i Włochy, oraz porównano decyzje transponujące dokonane w dwóch różnych kontekstach prawnych. Autor argumentuje, również w świetle tego badania, że potencjał obowiązku zapewnienia elastycznej organizacjipracy można w pewnym stopniu zwiększyć poprzez zastosowanie zakazu dyskryminacji pośredniej, z którego można wywnioskować rodzaj obowiązku dostosowania. Obowiązek zapewnienia elastycznej organizacji pracy może stanowić narzędzie proceduralne do stosowania i wzmacniania testu proporcjonalności i racjonalnegousprawnienia.

The aim of this paper is twofold: to highlight the potential and limitations of the new right to request flexible working arrangements for caring purposes, as established in Directive no. 2019/1158, and to consider, through an overview of the EU law, whether and to what extent this right can be interpreted in a manner that truly favours the interests of workers with care-related responsibilities over those of employers. The paper analyses some examples of approaches taken regarding the implementation of the right to request flexible working arrangements in two different jurisdictions, such as Germany and Italy, and compares the transposing choices made in the two different legal contexts. The author argues, also in light of this investigation, that the potential of the duty to provide flexible working arrangements could be, to a certainextent, enhanced through the application of the prohibition of indirect discrimination, from which a sort of duty of accommodation could be inferred. The duty to provide flexible working arrangements could constitute the procedural tool to apply and enhance the proportionality test and reasonable accommodation.
