Abstract
The paper presents a sociological discussion on the problems and needs of older generation immigrants (over 60 years of age) born in Yugoslavia and living in the greater Melbourne area in a milieu which is new and which includes the younger immigrant generation. Proceeding from an analysis of the demographic profile of the samples, the author gives an objective critical evaluation of all the main (economic, health-related, cultural, social, educational etc.) problems of the older generation. A separate section of the text treats the complex problem of the realisation of specific recent needs of the older immigrant generation.
