Sažetak
Life expectancy is getting longer. Consequently, years in retirement are getting longer. Therefore, we can expect that elderly have more time than other generations. Pleasure in free time brings sense to life and a quality aging. After retirement many elderly wish to keep their identity and to stay creative. Others see the old age as stereotype of an old age and surrender. Some are forced to work; others look for a job to improve their standard. Leisure of those can be much different from those living alone or with the spouse, having more time for their interests. Perception of leisure is changing by aging. One may consider leisure for relaxation; other can understand it as a source of loneliness. In-depth interviews in this study revealed 5 characteristics of elderly understanding of leisure: definition, quantity, correlation with health, meaning and activities of Slovenian leisure.
