Summary/Abstract: Work is of primary value in a person’s life, as, over the course of a lifetime, it occupies more than half of adulthood. Its meaning has individual value for every person. With respect to the research conducted so far, this article presents the values that arise from performing work by elderly people. The experience of professional work has made it possible to distinguish such values as: meaning of life, responsibility, loyalty, trust, education and development.
