Tanya Vazova

Economic Studies journal, 2025, issue 6

Abstract: The article examines the dynamics of active ageing and its impact on the quality of life of persons aged 65+. The main objective is to analyse some socio-economic aspects of the active life of the elderly with an emphasis on social integration, economic contribution, healthy lifestyle and maintenance of independence for this age group. The concept of "active adult life" is fundamental and is related to the concept of "active ageing" – presented by the European Commission in 1999. In the context of demographic changes in Bulgaria and the ageing population, the article emphasizes the importance of active life for improving the quality of life of the elderly. Recommendations are given for creating favourable conditions for social integration, learning and participation in economic activities for the elderly, as well as for supporting digital literacy. Emphasis is placed on the need for a more holistic and integrated approach to promoting healthy lifestyles and active ageing.
