“…A population survey conducted in 2013 by the Institute of Social Analysis and Forecasting of the RANEPA (Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration) [9][10] showed that the reasons for stopping work to reach retirement age are poor health and fatigue, since it is they that determine the ability of an elderly person to work. At the same time, a number of sociological and medical studies [11][12] show that working pensioners are healthier. Thus, in the scientific literature there are two points of view regarding the health of working pensioners.…”

This article draws out two points of view regarding the health of working pensioners. The study presented in the article is aimed at testing two hypotheses put forward on the basis of analysis of theoretical models and sociological surveys of the population. The first hypothesis is about that the labor activity of pensioners contributes to the preservation of their health, and the secondonly those healthy pensioners continue to work. As a criterion for verifying the research hypotheses, two multivariate linear regression models were constructed that estimated the statistical relationships between employment, health status of pensioners, and other variables. Based on the calculation of determinant of correlation matrix, the presence of a linear relationship between the explanatory variables in the regression models was excluded. The study was conducted on the example of women of 55-59 years of age according to statistical data. The results of the regression analysis confirmed only the first hypothesis, the second one was rejected.

Based on the data from the &quot;Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey - Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE)&quot;, a dynamic analysis of indicators characterising the social well-being of working pensioners has been conducted for the years 1994 to 2022. The current trend in the dynamics of these indicators is characterised as weakly positive but with a potential for decline. It is shown that the current level of social well-being among working pensioners, which includes increased self-confidence and readiness to overcome life difficulties, contributes to maintaining the stability of their adaptive potential. Throughout the various stages of the transformational period, working pensioners who exhibited greater autonomy and had developed social capital consistently reported higher levels of social well-being compared not only to non-working pensioners but also to pre-pensioners who experienced growing anxiety due to the inevitable changes in social status and lifestyle upon retirement. The study did not find significant differences in the level of social well-being between working pensioners who retired after the increase in the retirement age and those who retired just before the pension reform. Substantial differentiation in the level of social well-being among representatives of the analysed category of pensioners, who are now found in almost all sectors and spheres of activity, is largely the result of their heterogeneous socio-economic status. Despite old age being a factor that increases social risks and vulnerability, working pensioners often overcome difficulties encountered during crises with fewer adaptation difficulties and costs than younger individuals. Key elements of social well-being that continue to play a consistently significant role in strengthening the adaptive potential of working pensioners include the fulfilment of the need for public recognition and social interaction, as well as self-assessment of health status. In the current socio-economic and demographic conditions, various aspects of the social adaptation of the older generation become particularly important, directly linked to the realisation of their resource potential and increased activity in the field of employment.

In the context of ageing, the problem of health among older adults needs special attention. The article attempts to analyze key health indicators among older people, their perception and acceptance of their own age, as well as the perception of them by others. The article also analyzes processes of inclusion of older people in the economic, social, and cultural life. Trying to determine the age boundaries of an old age, the author comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to identify a single correct classification, due to the heterogeneity of the “elderly” group, the discrepancy between their views on life, the difference in health status and their perceptions of illnesses. The analysis factors influencing this heterogeneity will help to understand the main problems of life expectancy and will make it possible to develop more effective programs to prolong a healthy lifestyle and active aging. The author analyzes such health indicators as: life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, self-assessment of health, social and medical literacy of the elderly population. The author does not ignore the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an impact on physical and mental health of older people, as they were the main risk group during the pandemic.The article is based on the results of the most significant and recent Russian and foreign works in the fields of sociology of ageing and sociology of health. The methodological basis of the work is a secondary analysis of research data from the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), etc.
