Subjective Assessment of Seniors on the Phenomenon of Discrimination: Analysis Against the Background of the Europe 2020 Strategy Implementation

Purpose: Our study aimed to compare objective factors increasing discrimination and subjective feelings of seniors about discrimination. Additionally, we have attempted to indicate whether the elderly is discriminated against and to what extent they report such situations. Design/Methodology/Approach: The linear ordering by Hellwig's method was used to construct Taxonomic Measure of Preventing Exclusion (TMPEi) and synthetic measures for finding the level of discrimination perception by seniors. Eurostat data was used to construct the TMPEi and Special Eurobarometer data to learn about senior subjective assessment of discrimination.
