The question of age and aging is currently gaining in importance. The main reasons for the aging of population are the extension of age of individuals and low birthrate. This master thesis tries to answer the question, how the younger generations see seniors and identify the main stereotypes and myths about age and aging, which are produced in contemporary society. By using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research is presented an image of senior in the eyes of youngest, middle and oldest generations. The empirical part firstly deals with the perception of seniors, depending on age and sex of respondents and secondly the perception of myths about seniors depending on the age of respondents. Statistical data from the questionnaire are supplemented with information based on interviews. The results of the thesis point out that the Czech population perceives seniors rather neutral, between generations are only small differences in the perception of seniors.
