Quality of life in old age in the central and Eastern European countries
Quality of life in old age in the central and Eastern European countries

Summary/Abstract: There are numerous publications which focus on showing the socio-economic situations of older generations in Europe, however, they primarily concern industrialized Western European countries. This paper presents an overview and comparison of information based on various indicators (recommended by the WHO) which were used in analysis of measuring the quality of life of senior citizens in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), i.e. Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia and Estonia. The whole analysis is crucial not only for assessing the quality of life in old age, but also demonstrating a possible use of this quality of life concept in the senior policy planning, making and implementation for the Central and Eastern European countries.
