In evaluation of material situation and so related material deprivation of older households we will focus only on selected aspects like possessing durable goods. The aim is to compare situation of various household types (like single 65+ or two adults with at least one 65+) within the same country and between CEE countries. Analysis showed differences not only within particular countries but also between countries for the same types of households.

In less than a quarter of a century, almost every third inhabitant of Poland will be 60 or over 60 years. Needs of society will change mainly due to the change in population age structure. The increasing need for care will be impossible to be satisfied only by the family. Greater involvement of informal support networks, NGOs, religious associations, local government and state will be required to ensure an adequate standard of care for seniors. The aim of this paper is to analyze the demographic, social and economic factors affecting the demand for nursing services provided in both the older person's living environment as well as in specialized institutions and the ability to meet the needs of care by shrinking and aging labor force. The paper first discusses the factors influencing the increasing demand for support. The second part discusses the factors affecting the ability to meet care needs.

The article is to demonstrate the dynamics of changes of both processes and to correlation between the two processes. For the description of the changes in the value of the fertility rate and the share of persons aged over 60 years we use a linear function of the trend, and to describe the relationship of both processes multiple linear regression.

The data used come from the 2011 wave of the survey “Social Diagnosis – living conditions and quality of life of Poles”. The analyses have shown that men aged 60 years or more had higher subjective well-being than their female counterparts. Subjective life satisfaction of the elderly in Poland decreases with age for women, but for males on the opposite. The elderly in Poland were satisfied the most with the aspects related to their personal life such as children, marriage, relationship with family member and relatives, while they were the least satisfied with situation in the country, life prospects, health status, sexual life, and economical situation of their families. Educational level and health status (measured in terms of disability) had the greatest impact on the sense of happiness. Generally people with the highest level of education had more chances to be happy than those less educated. The probability of happiness among people without disability was higher than among disabled ones. Married people also had bigger odds to be happy.
