Active Aging – Health, Social, and Economic Determinants

Активното стареене – здравни, социални и икономически детерминанти

Author(s): Veselka Pavlova,Ekaterina Tosheva,Mariana Mourgova,Ralitza Pandurska,Anastas Dimov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: active ageing; Bulgaria; health status; social engagement; working retirees, flexible retirement; SHARE

The publication focuses on pressing issues related to the health status and access to healthcare for elderly people in Bulgaria, their social life, and their participation in the labor market. A comparative analysis of demographic trends in Bulgaria and the European Union indicates that by 2050, population aging processes will deepen, with the rate in Bulgaria exceeding the EU average. A comparison of the Active Aging Index demonstrates that Bulgaria's low position is due to the very limited participation of elderly people in social and political life. Based on data from the SHARE study, an analysis was conducted on the health status and access to medical care and services for individuals aged 55 and over. The findings conclude that a significant portion of elderly people in Bulgaria suffer from chronic illnesses and overweight, do not visit dentists, or consult medical professionals. The study highlights the extremely limited involvement of elderly people in political and social life. Significant differences in quality of life and life satisfaction were identified across various socio-demographic groups. Conclusions were drawn regarding the advantages and risks of flexible retirement and its connection to active aging. An analysis of the dynamics of working retirees from 2009 to 2019 reveals a growing participation of elderly individuals in the labor market. A key conclusion of the study is that elderly people with poorer health, unfavorable financial conditions, and lower levels of education are more inclined toward early retirement.
