SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN MANAGEMENT PRACTICE УДК 331.1 JEL: J11, J18 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE The economic activity of the elderly is becoming increasingly important with the aging of the population and the extension of the education of young people. Older people have experience, knowledge, which is an important component of human capital of modern organizations and countries in general. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, according to statistics, the economic activity of the elderly has decreased significantly during the 2008-2018 period. Most elderly workers are among the specialists and representatives of the simplest professions. Data on the registered statistics of economic activity of elderly in the regions of Ukraine are weakly correlated with the situation on regional labor markets. This is due, in particular, to the significant shadow component of employment in this age group. Keywords:economic activity; elderly people; regulation of economic activity; goals of regulating the economic activity of the elderly; tools for regulating the economic activity of the elderly; pension system
