PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE ELDERLY IN TODAY'S LABOUR MARKET

Summary/Abstract: There is a great variation in the phenomena affecting the operation of the contemporary job market and, thus, the professional activity of employees. One of the greatest challenges faced by the job market comes from demographic changes. One shall, in that context, pay a special attention to the process of aging of the societies intensifying for many years.Despite the fact that on the Polish job market there is observed, as far as demand is concerned, unwillingness to the employment of people ages 50 plus, actions, projects and initiatives to encourage and to promote their professional activity are more and more frequent. However, to mobilise the potential of older people to offer a strategic solution to the problem of decreasing labour force resources, one must enhance the working conditions and adapt them to the health conditions and the needs of that population as well as provide a better access to training and lifelong education as well as the diagnostics of the social benefits and taxation systems.
