Like a large number of other European countries, the Republic of Serbia is
facing the process of population ageing. According to demographic estimations,
the elderly could soon make up a quarter of our country's population. Ageing goes
hand in hand with the increased needs of the elderly for care and nursing, but also
with prejudices. A decline in the quality of life is expected unless the old person has
enough social, cultural, and especially material capital. If such capital is unavailable, the old are exposed to material and other forms of deprivations. How those
old people in situations of extreme poverty perceive the ageing process, and
whether they have capacities to alleviate the deprivations they face, were two research questions that we tried to get an answer to in our case study. We conducted
an in-depth interview with an old person in a situation of absolute poverty. Analysis
showed that our respondent meets existentially important issues, without social support. Ho...wever, she possesses defined mechanisms/strategies for coping and solving
some of the deprivations.
