Abstract
The article aims at the presentation of spatial distribution of migration of the elderly in Polish districts (poviats) in the years 1991 and 2001. The changes between those years were also shown. Two groups of elderly migrants were taken into account - the older productive aged 50-64 and post-productive aged 65 and over. Three measures of migration were used - the immigration rate, emigration rate and net migration rate. The analysis of spatial distribution of elderly migration showed that the tendencies among people aged 50-64 and over 65 are generally similar to the trends in migration of total population.
