Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to shed light on scientific effects and practice of social work, both globally and locally, in those aspects that led to scientific and practical orientation of this discipline towards the elderly. On the one hand such orientation may be understood as part of the total process of constructing old age as a social problem, while on the other hand it points to the strategy of actions of a concrete professional group wishing to overcome the initially marginalised position, which gave rise to looking into the potential of old age as a resource.
