The observed collapse of demographic pyramid increases the tension on the social security systems, especially pensions. It implies a requirement to extend the retirement age. On the basis of Eurobarometer 65.1 we calculate difference between expected and preferred retirement age in Poland. Then we show the determinants of individual differences. Particular attention is paid to the problem of non-random missing observations.

Rural areas are frequently considered as likely to generate isolation, loneliness and risks of social exclusion for vulnerable people who live there. With investigations in two types of rural areas – fragile rural environments and rural areas subject to periurbanisation, we analyse interactions between the characteristics of the populations and characteristics of territories in the occurrence of social segregation and exclusion processes. Th e analysis will be based on the situation of pensioners and elderly people. We will show how residential and social trajectories of the people constitute an essential factor of inclusion vs exclusion in these territories.

In this paper the influence of short and long term ageing processes on polymer dispersion in the polymer modified bitumen has been analyzed. The bitumen was modified by various amounts of SBS elastomers. Microstructural changes of polymer dispersion were tested using fluorescent microscopy. It has been shown that the phase separation of SBS modified binders is influenced by the base bitumen and the characteristics and content of the polymer. Correlations were sought between viscoelastic properties and microstructure after ageing. The results showed that it is essential to describe the microstructure of the polymer modified bitumen, especially the description phases, shapes and proportion of dispersed parts.

The South Korean pension system is a staterun PAYG social insurance system that has largely managed to avoid key problems common elsewhere. General state pensions arrived on the scene relatively late – in 1988 – in an economy dominated by small family firms and a familial social protection system. Despite financial surpluses, the system underwent two major reforms focused on sustainability, in 1997 and 2007. Recent discussions also highlight adequacy and old age poverty, with the prospect of rapid population ageing. Korea has combined PAYG finance with a large pension reserve – the second largest sovereign fund in the world – whilst also managing to preserve the unity of the system by applying common rules.

The growth in synthetic material use results in bringing problems connected with production of wastes, both the technology process wastes and after-use wastes. At present, the main problem is how to manage the material wastes and products as well as their possible recycling and secondary application. The research work presented herein aimed at production of material to be polymer mix of PE and PA, and testing whether the addition of polypropylene or polyethylene obtained from another source, and on having exposed the mix to ageing in atmosphere of higher humidity and higher temperature, would result in achieving such a polymer composite that may be successfully used to produce insulation-constructional elements. The results obtained proved that the material tested can be classified to a group of good dielectric materials, easy to produce in terms of technology and what is more, slightly susceptible to the stipulated ageing factors exposure.

Information technology evolves in order to meet the needs of ageing society. Despite the life-long learning perspective and availability of ICT courses, studies indicate that only a limited number of seniors take full advantage of possibilities given by mobile technology and the Internet. The question arises if the old are part of the Information Society or they are excluded from it. This article provides evidence that seniors underutilise the ICT devices and e-services and indicates the main lines of the recent debates on the current need for ICT education among older adults. The analysis of seniors’ ICT competence is based on a literature survey.

Basic notions of the ageing multistate systems safety analysis are introduced. The system components and the system multistate safety functions are defined. The mean values and variances of the multistate systems lifetimes in the safety state subsets and the mean values of their lifetimes in the particular safety states are defined. The multi-state system risk function and the moment of exceeding by the system the critical safety state are introduced. The exemplary safety structures of the multistate systems with ageing components are defined and their safety functions are determined. As a particular case, the safety functions of the considered multistate systems composed of components having exponential safety functions are determined. Applications of the proposed multistate system safety models to the evaluation and prediction of the safty characteristics of the exemplary series, parallel, “m out of n”, consecutive “m out of n: F”, series-parallel, parallel-series and “m out of l”-series systems are presented as well.

The paper focuses on the union formation in later life using SHARELIFE data from 13 European countries. First, it shows that proportion of single individuals aged 50-69 and the proportion of those who (re)partner vary significantly across European countries. The highest levels of (re)partnering were observed in Scandinavia and the lowest in Southern and Central Europe. Second, it shows that women are much less likely to enter a new coresidential union than men in all studied countries but the relative difference between men and women vary. The smallest difference was observed in Scandinavia and the Czech Republic, the largest in Southern Europe, Austria, and Switzerland. Third, repartnered individuals tend to be younger, more educated, and more likely divorced than widowed comparing to those who stay single.

The aim of this paper is to explore older in-migrants' experiences and perceptions of their spatial context at the neighbourhood level, the key aspects in their attachment to the neighbourhood, and the role of place in their experience of ageing. Our qualitative research was carried out in Newton Hall (United Kingdom). The findings show that older people can have a proactive role in terms of placemaking and their own wellbeing. However, the study also reveals that the condition of the spatial context can either support or hinder older people's sense of wellbeing.

Objectives: The main goals of this study were to assess the most significant morphological changes and acoustic measures for the ageing process of a professional opera singer’s voice. Design: This investigation included 58 healthy professional opera singers, who were compared with 42 young opera singers from the control group. Methods: All participants underwent a voice assessment protocol: ENT specialist examination and speech therapist evaluation. Acoustic parameters and subjective observations were obtained and analysed. R esults: Fundamental frequency (F0) level was distinctly decreased in the case of older female singers, but F0 in older male singers had stable levels in comparison to that in younger singers. Older singers were found not to have substantially different values of jitter than younger ones. Maximal phonation time (MPT) was longer in the older women’s group when compared to the younger singers, but not relatively different in the men’s group. Shimmer value presented no age-related change. Morphological changes seem to correlate with the age of subjects. C onclusions: The main characteristic of voice change with age was a decreased F0 level among older female professional singers and rather stable F0 levels in male singers. This study gives preliminary results on the ageing of voice in the population of professional opera singers.

The aging of population is largely caused by falling fertility. To find out how fertility affects the share of the elderly people in the population, four variants of the UN World Population Prospects 2010 for Poland and Europe were examined, as well as selected indicators of population aging. The relatively high fertility and comparatively short life expectancy in Poland until the end of 1980s explain why its population aged much more slowly than other populations in Europe. In the last two decades the share of the elderly people kept increasing, mostly because of the deep decline in the number of births. For almost a decade now Poland has been one of the demographically old countries, although the aging process is relatively less pronounced in Poland than in Italy or Germany. In the medium variant of the UN forecast Polish fertility will be growing for the next few decades, but its level will not be high enough to ensure the minimum population replacement. Only in the high variant its growth will lead to rates of population reproduction higher than the minimum level. This situation might take place as early as the first half of the 2020s. The analysis of particular indicators illustrating the progress of demographic aging leads to a conclusion that even high fertility will not rejuvenate the age structure of Polish population, but it may considerably slow down the process of its aging.

Regulatory effect of CD25, an activation antigen the α subunit of interleukin 2 receptor (IL2R) on the activity of natural killer (NK) cells was studied in fifty elderly (57-70 years old) and fifty young people (19-35 years old). Cytotoxic NK activity was assessed by 51Cr release assay, the levels of interleukin 2 (IL2) and tumour necrosis factors α (TNFα) were measured using bioassays and expression of CD16 and CD25 proteins by flow cytometry. Low NK activity in the elderly was associated with decline of full health, lowered serum concentration of IL2 and increased production of TNFα during NK reaction. Inhibition of TNFα activity by anti-TNF monoclonal antibody suppressed exclusively NK activity of low NK responders. Moreover, stimulation in vitro of blood mononuclear cells, with TNFα induced in the elderly low NK responders a significantly higher increase of the CD25 expression on the surface of NK cells as compared with that in the elderly high responders. Since the CD25 molecule constitutes a subunit of the high affinity receptor, binding IL2 to immunocompetent cells, its increased expression on NK cells of low NK responders would enable them to bind even low amounts of the endogenous IL2 available in this group of the elderly. Thus, an overproduction of TNFα seems to be a mechanism compensating, in the non-fully healthy elderly, for the decreased IL2 production, promoting efficient cytotoxic reaction.

Research on ageing of composite tension railway traction insulators has been started recently. Insulators have been prepared in two length versions of insulating parts - 24 cm and 50 cm. Some of them have been exposed to coastal climate influence in Świnoujście and Dźwirzyno. The other part of insulators was used for laboratory ageing tests using salt fog chamber, specified voltage and special measuring equipment for detection and recording of leakage currents. At the beginning proper level of voltage and salt concentration was found, to achieve the best conditions for ageing this type of insulators. These parameters should be set in such a way to provide as intensive ageing as possible, but still allowing to control of the process and measure the current values.

Population ageing is one of the major challenges of modern Europe. In this context is worth to assessment the differences in the situation of women and men aged 50+ on the labour market. In the area of interest are primarily people aged 50-59/64, which are at this stage of life in which the situation on the labour market is particularly difficult. Paper was prepared mainly on the basis of the unpublished data developed within the project “Equalisation of Opportunities in the Labour Market for People Aged 50+”. The analysis was conducted with the application of basic descriptive statistics, as well as chi-squared test. Comparing income of women and men aged 50+, t-Student test and median test for independent samples, as well as one- and two-way analysis of variance were used.

Uwzględniając fiskalne znaczenie opodatkowania konsumpcji oraz rosnące znaczenie wydatków konsumpcyjnych w starzejącym się społeczeństwie, artykuł podejmuje próbę określenia warunków redystrybucyjnej neutralności opodatkowania konsumpcji w przypadkach, kiedy dobra różnią się strukturą podziału obciążeń fiskalnych między producenta i konsumenta. Zróżnicowanie stopnia incydencji, czyli zdolności przerzucenia podatku na konsumenta, wymaga uwzględnienia nie tylko cenowej elastyczności popytu, lecz także przypadków, kiedy zachowania rynkowe różnią się w zależności od wieku konsumenta. Problem neutralności redystrybucyjnej podatków konsumpcyjnych jest ważny ze względu na różnice w strukturze konsumpcji zależne od wieku konsumentów. Celem artykułu jest budowa prostego modelu neutralności redystrybucyjnej opodatkowania dóbr charakteryzujących się znacznym zróżnicowaniem elastyczności popytu ze względu na wiek konsumentów.

Taking into account the role of consumption taxes as the source of public revenues and the growing propensity to consume characteristic of the aging society, the paper focuses on an investigation of the conditions of the redistributive neutrality of consumption taxation in a situation when particular goods are marked by a different distribution of tax burden between consumer and seller. The study attempts to define the rule of diversification of consumption tax rates which will compensate for a different market effect (price elasticity) leading to a decrease in the wealth of consumers differentiated by age (age elasticity). The issue of the redistributive neutrality of consumption taxes is crucial because of lifetime differences in consumption. The aim of the paper is to construct a simple model of the redistributive effects induced by consumption taxes.

Учитывая фискальное значение налогообложения потребления, а также растущее значение потребительских расходов в стареющем обществе, в статье предпринимается попытка определить условия перераспределительной нейтральности налогообложения потребления в случаях, когда блага различаются структурой деления фискальных нагрузок между производителем и потребителем. Дифференциация степени инцидентности, т.е. способности перебросить налог на потребителя, требует учета не только ценовойэластичности спроса, но также случаев, когда рыночное поведение различается в зависимости от возраста потребителя. Вопрос перераспределительной нейтральности налогообложения благ важен ввиду различий в структуре потребления по возрастам. Целью статьи является построение простой модели перераспредельной нейтральности налогообложения благ, характеризующихся значительной дифференциацией эластичности спроса в зависимости от возраста потребителей.

The article deals with the issue of retirement in contemporary Polish society. The analysis is based on a qualitative research project conducted with people who had formally retired within the previous five years. The process of retiring is one of the most important turning points in the life course. The aim is to look more carefully at the experience of the initial years of retirement and the process of adjustment to a new social status. The article seeks to answer questions regarding how new pensioners comprehend and function in the current social and institutional settings, in particular how they perceive the process of changes and rebuild their relations with the younger generations.
