Abstract

The report focuses on the quality of life of elderly people (age 55+), studying the characteristics of their labor market participation and informal caregiving. The analysis is based on a nationally representative sociological survey conducted in 2022 by a team from the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the Bulgarian Academy of Science. The survey covers all age groups - 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and 74+, as well as informal forms of work such as caretaking for children/grandchildren and/or another dependent adult. The results show a change, although not yet very significant, in the quality of life of the elderly in Bulgaria. It is characterised by the fact that a large proportion of elderly people (47%) do not want to work as they get older, which is more pronounced the higher their income. There is also a minor change in the proportion of people caring for other household members. This change brings Bulgaria closer to European levels, shifting the focus of family care towards care and social services professionals provide.
保加利亚老年人的劳动力市场参与、非正式照料和生活质量
该报告重点关注老年人(55岁以上)的生活质量,研究他们的劳动力市场参与和非正式照顾的特点。该分析是基于保加利亚科学院哲学和社会学研究所的一个团队于2022年进行的一项具有全国代表性的社会学调查。调查涵盖了55-59岁、60-64岁、65-69岁、70-74岁和74岁以上的所有年龄组,以及照顾子女/孙辈和/或其他受抚养成年人等非正式工作形式。结果显示,保加利亚老年人的生活质量发生了变化,尽管还不是很显著。它的特点是,很大一部分老年人(47%)不想随着年龄的增长而工作,他们的收入越高,这一点就越明显。照顾其他家庭成员的人的比例也有微小的变化。这一变化使保加利亚更接近欧洲水平,将家庭护理的重点转向专业人员提供的护理和社会服务。
