ENThis article is aimed at the analysis of subjective wellbeing that has gained intense interest within the social sciences. It can be noted that the subjective wellbeing of various social groups undergoes a deep evaluation abroad; however, in Lithuania it has been concerned mostly through the perspective of medical sciences and quite a narrow view in social sciences. This article discloses the results of an investigation of the subjective wellbeing of elderly people in rural areas. The particular investigation highlighted both a general concept of the subjective wellbeing of elderly people's self-actualization and interrelation of various life aspects with the general wellbeing perception, the urgent problems of elderly people, and the potential impact of subjective wellbeing on the future of elderly people.
