Abstract: The economic impact of an ageing population in Europe forces policy makers to adapt legislation towards the extension of working life. This tendency is met with opposition from the public. Trade unions, employers and governments in European countries develop their own measures to address this problem. This article presents the outcomes of social dialogue in this area, with special attention given to the role of trade unions, acting in countries with two completely different models of labour relations (LR). The article tests the thesis that in countries with dissimilar LR models, trade unions also play different roles in shaping and stimulating social dialogue on the extension of working life. (Ekonomické dôsledky starnutia populácie Európy vedú politikov k prijatiu zákonov na predĺženie pracovného života. Táto tendencia sa stretá s nesúhlasom verejnosti. Odbory, zamestnávatelia a vlády v jednotlivých európskych štátoch sa k tomuto problému stavajú rôzne. Predkladaný článok poukazuje na výsledky spoločenského dialógu v tejto oblasti, predovšetkým sa zaoberá rolou odborov v dvoch skupinách štátov s odlišnými pracovnoprávnymi vzťahmi. Článok testuje hypotézu, že v štátoch s rozdielnymi modelmi pracovnoprávnych vzťahov hrajú odbory vo vzťahu k otázke predĺženia pracovného života odlišné úlohy.)
