“…One of the possibilities for helping seniors is developing and supporting active ageing. In addition, Kaščáková and Martinkovičová (2019) support our consideration that older adults in Slovakia are ageing 'in the spirit of ageing well'. These authors add that the following factors are important: high senior subjective well-being; promoting independence; creating community programs to improve and maintain physical activity; and supporting education.…”

The possible availability of residential long-term care for seniors in the regions of Slovakia in the period to 2040 is evaluated in this contribution. The study identifies risk in the availability of residential care concerning the future development of the senior population. To highlight the potential risk for regions, three model projections are used. A factor analysis with two-by-two classifications was employed to identify the risk in the regions in terms of the availability of residential care. Due to the expanding senior population in Slovakia, maintaining the current capacity of residential facilities would significantly deteriorate the availability of social services. If the current ratio of residential care capacity to the size of the senior population is maintained, the number of beds will have to increase by 56% by 2040. Demographic ageing is a current challenge for public policy and requires searching for solutions to ensure the quality of social care for the elderly in every society. Our research shows that the risk in the regions of Slovakia varies depending on the existing capacity of residential facilities and the forecasted senior population.

“…Therefore, PIT-0 seems to have a redistributive character. This also has some advantages because -as Kaščáková and Martinkovičová (2019) believe -the level of seniors' well-being is a reflection of care and attention of the whole society paid to this population group.…”

Theoretical background: The article draws attention to the issue of tax relief offered to working seniors as one of the elements of the competitiveness of the Polish tax system. The usefulness of the tax relief in terms of motivating professional activity was assessed. The article fills a gap in the adopted research area as currently there is a lack of comprehensive research on the consequences of the introduced tax relief. It contributes to understanding the premises and the importance of applying for the tax relief, which can be useful for seniors and other people interested in the subject. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to assess whether the tax relief offered to working seniors provides tax and contribution benefits as an incentive for them to remain professionally active. Research methods: The main research method is a case study. The analysis was carried out on the example of a senior whose income is earned based on employment contract or business activity. The article also uses the method of source analysis (literature, legal acts) and inductive inference. Main findings: The case study gives a negative answer to the research question. It cannot be unequivocally considered that the tax relief is a significant incentive to remain professionally active. In terms of the employment contract, the relief can motivate to remain professionally active only those who at the same time, for a long period of time, resign from their pensions, and especially those receiving low benefits. Similar conclusions apply to seniors running their businesses.

“…Similarly, the social status of senior citizens is included by the society in the ineffi cient old-age pensioners category which results in elderly people being at disadvantage and having to confront with a constantly changing social environment. It is necessary to remember that the senior population is an integral part of society and has a huge potential not only for employment but also for active participation in the life of all social structures (Kaščáková and Martinkovičová, 2019). The level of seniors' well-being is a refl ection of care and attention of the whole society about this population group.…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse the formal and informal care for seniors in households in a selected region of the Banská Bystrica self-governing region in Slovakia -the Southern Gemer region which can be said to be "underdeveloped". The data we have used for the analysis consist of 12 municipalities and one city. In our study, we focused on seniors aged 65 and over. The analysis of the availability of formal services in the fi eld of providing social care for the elderly 65+ showed that the focus (main) responsibility in this area is geared towards informal care for the elderly in households, despite the inappropriate age structure of caregivers. Our research revealed the wellbeing as being an important determinant that requires the availability but also the quality of formal and informal care for seniors in households.
