Population ageing is one of the major challenges of modern Europe. This is the effect of both shrinking and ageing of potential labour resources as well as the fact that professional competences of older employees are becoming increasingly outdated. Another thing is that due to the improvement of quality of living, people tend to live longer. Health of the citizens is improving regardless of their age, also at the threshold of becoming old. These processes should be accompanied by extending the period of working activity. In this context, very low economic activity of Poles (especially women) nearing retirement is a huge challenge faced by the Polish economy.
