Abstract
This paper is a prelude to the commencement of a discussion about the situation of elderly individuals in the society in the context of the European Union, the crisis in the euro zone vs. entering into the monetary union by Poland. The authoress considers the possible meaning of the term: the old age, the manner of defining and perceiving it by the society in general, but also by elderly individuals themselves. The authoress also wonders over the consequences resulting from entering the euro zone for an average Pole at the retirement age. Activating elderly individuals ought to become the society’s goal by means of which the perception of the old age by the society and elderly people themselves will change.
