THE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF THE ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The stereotyped view of elderly people as politically passive persons not participating in the public sphere has been rebutted by many researches in post-industrial countries. On the contrary, it is becoming apparent that elderly people are highly politically active, especially in those forms which do not require any high activity. Classical examples are high election turnout and party membership. The high election turnout of elderly people is visible in the Czech Republic nowadays. This could not be seen at the beginning of the 90s because the launching of country transformation towards the democratic system was accompanied by exceptionally high public interest in political affairs. The election turnout in the first free parliamentary election in 1990was 97%. The next development has brought phenomena known from west European countries ? decline of election turnout in the political field and the second demographic transition with extensive population ageing in the demographic field.
