Abstract

The article discusses self-realization of elderly people, i.e. those 50 and older: age groups “50-59” and “above 60.” Analysis of empirical data showed that people in the “50-59 age” group retain a high level of selfrealization, while within the age group of “above 60”, this level is decreasing. The latter phenomenon is related to worsening health and motivation “to retire”.
