Transformations and perspectives of the living conditions of Czech and Slovak seniors with an emphasis on single-person households

Original language description

The paper looks at the life situation of Czech and Slovak seniors between 2005 and 2016. The aim is to analyze data from the national standardized surveys (EU-SILC) and, based on the analyzed data, describe living conditions (an objectively measured standard of living and poverty rate) and subjective life satisfaction with an emphasis on seniors living in single-person households. The results show a large increase in the number of single-person households. The analysis of Czech households&apos; income situation showed that the per-member monthly income for the whole population was similar to the average per-member income in households of seniors, while the group of the elderly living in single-person households appeared to be the most vulnerable one in terms of income. The differences between the seniors&apos; incomes and expenditures indicated that about 40% of this data segment&apos;s members lived near the poverty line, while the most endangered segment members were seniors from single-person households.
