  Tanulmányunk célja az időskori szerencsejátékkal kapcsolatos vizsgálatok és tanulmányok rövid összefoglalása és elemzése. A fiatal és felnőttkori szerencsejátékkal kapcsolatosan kiterjedt kutatások állnak rendelkezésre, ismerjük a kórkép kialakulásában és fennmaradásában szerepet játszó fontosabb demográfiai jellemzőket, személyiségfaktorokat és terápiás lehetőségeket. Az időskori szerencsejátékkal kapcsolatosan kevés a vizsgálati eredmény külföldön és Magyarországon még nincs kifejezetten 65 év feletti szerencsejátékosokra fókuszáló tanulmány. Ezért ebben az összefoglalóban kizárólag külföldi vizsgálatokra támaszkodhatunk, a speciális minta következtében azonban a tanulmányok és következtetések száma korlátozott. Az eredmények alapján az időskori szerencsejáték különbözik a fiatal és serdülőkori szerencsejátéktól.

  This exploratory study delves into the motivational factors driving economic engagement among the elderly in rural areas of Laos, a nation in Southeast Asia experiencing demographic shifts towards an aging population. With limited research on this topic in the context of rural Laos, this study aims to uncover the underlying motivations that influence elderly individuals to participate in economic activities. By understanding these factors, policymakers can design targeted interventions to promote economic inclusion and improve the well-being of the elderly population. However, the study also uncovers barriers and challenges faced by elderly individuals, such as limited access to resources, skills, and infrastructure. Recommendations are provided to address these challenges and enhance support systems.

  This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges confronting the elderly population in the Philippines, focusing on economic insecurity, healthcare accessibility, social isolation, and the socio-cultural context of aging. While the elderly population remains smaller in proportion compared to other Southeast Asian nations—growing from 2.7% in 1990 to a projected 7.7% by 2025—this demographic shift brings significant implications. The increase in the aged dependency ratio, expected to double from 5.5 elderly per 100 working-age persons in 1990 to 10.5 by 2025, reflects the pressures on younger generations to support an aging population.

  Our research group identified a huge need for research on social well-being in the elderly population. In Hungary so far not much has been published in this topic, however, understanding the key elements of well-being is a growing area of research in gerontology all around the world, since it is crucial how we manage our lives in old age.
