Old Age from the Perspective of the Elderly
MLČOCHOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis title states "Old Age from the Perspective of the Elderly". It's theoretical part focuses on old age and population ageing, it's changes and quality. It also describes prejudices, stereotypes, ageism and discrimination, all of which are linked with ageing. This topic is pretty current because of demographic ageing of the population not only in the Czech Republic. That is why it is needed to pay attention to. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to find out how seniors of the age 65 and older perceive the time of being old. Partial goal is to find out if the elderly of the age 65 and above have encountered discrimination or stereotyping because of their age. For the purpose of data collection a qualitative research strategy with polling method and semistructured interview technique were chosen. The informants were elderly of the age 65 and above, living in České Budějovice in a home environment. For the purpose of this research, 10 seniors were asked 5 of which were women and 5 men. The research took place in March 2020. The informants were chosen by a Snowball sampling technique. The acquired data analysis was implemented with open coding method, that enables the break down of the text to smaller parts. For displaying of the results were used diagrams and tables created in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. The research results show that the retirement for the elderly people don't mean end of life. Eight out of ten asked seniors perceived retirement positively. They described this change as a source of free time that can be used for hobbies and spending time with relatives. Seniors also said that ageing has its ups and downs. Eight of them stated couple of advantages such as mentioned free time. Only two seniors saw no benefit in being old. Seniors were also asked if they felt other people treating them differently after retiring. Seven informants stated that they don't see a difference. Two seniors stated that others treated them more politely than before and only one senior said, that others are treating him more arrogantly. To the question if the elderly encountered discrimination because of their age or gender, seven of them replied negatively and three of them positively. They felt discrimination in their job while being close to retirement. On the other hand none of the elderly have encountered discrimination because of gender. While being asked about prejudices, none of the informants have come across it. However, all the asked have encountered stereotyping. The informants couldn't answer question about myths about ageing as they weren't aware there were any.

Analysis and evaluation of positive law of benefits which are drawn by people in the Czech republic was my main intention. The result of frequent amendments is questionable interpretation of particular provisions and decline of legal certainty, because neither instructed employees who work in employment offices or in others can help general public. In the Czech republic there is a stronge social-democratic feeling from interwar period that is receding from the reality of our lives. Quick economic changes during 90'caused admission of liberal measures. These consequences carried into effect, that Czecch family policy of the begining of this millenium is a combination of various wals, very difficult to be classify. On the one hand I see a problem in current concepts of role of the family by young people because it devaluates gradually which you can notice in a big amount of divorces, fall of marriages, in a way to postpone pragnancy, drop of new-born babies etc. On the other hand it is necessary to say, that in fact, there is still distrust in a case to employ mothers of small children and that's why i tis very difficult to join both, care about family and building of career. Compared with other developed countries employers placed in the Czech republic offer parents who would like to work for, still few...
