Sažetak

How much the growth of elderly population will be a part of the demographic change in the society will certainly depend on the readiness of the society to accept changes in the demographic structure. One of the changes occurring simultaneously with the increase of the number of elderly people is the increase of the number of pensioners. To enable the current and future pensioners to achieve a successful adjustment to retirement, as well as a higher quality of life, it is necessary to conduct research aiming at a better understanding of this complex process. The purpose of this research was to establish differences in adjustment to retirement in the elderly regarding self-assessment of their social activity intensity. The survey was conducted in May and June 2021. 134 respondents aged over 65 living in their own households took part in the survey. Differences in adjustment to retirement in the elderly based on a self-assessment of one’s social activity intensity were analysed according to Atchley’s Adjustment to Retirement Model (2004). The obtained results indicate a necessity for elderly people to engage in social interaction in the community by taking part in social activities. The results also suggest that there is a positive impact
of social interaction on the adjustment to retirement.
