Abstract

This paper offers results of comparative analysis of some countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE): Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia which joined the EU in 2004 and Bulgaria and Romania who joined the EU in 2007 by presenting the material situations (material deprivation) of older generations using the available statistics from Eurostat database and microdata of EU-SILC (European Union – Survey of Income and Living Condition). 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.
