Life Quality for the Elderly in Transition Economies: Illustrations from Croatia

Elderly populations in transition economies tend to be increasingly vulnerable. Many of them have experienced deteriorating life quality. In this paper the authors present findings from a study on retirees in Croatia. Empirical data were collected from a representative sample of the entire elderly population of Croatians. The authors suggest there are specific retiree segments, they share some findings regarding members of those segments and conclude quality of life is often related to one's affiliation with a particular segment. Regardless of segmentation categories, however, many retirees struggle with subsistence living.
