ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis deals with the lived experiences of the Bulgarian villagers of today. It is built upon two studies, which were conducted in the village of Bania in 2010 and 2011. 
The first study aimed to examine the experiences of rural depopulation and its consequences, as well as the way in which the villagers cope with the arising from it problems. The second study is a follow up study, which aimed to disclose the experiences of ageing, as well as the structure and perceptions on the social network of elderly in the village of Bania. The last chapter of this thesis presents a brief overview of Europe 2020 strategy, its implementation in Bulgaria and their relation to ageing. Its goal is to provide a policy-relevant discussion on the adequacy of the undertaken reforms in Bulgaria.
