Abstract
In this article, we analyze the resilience of older adults and its probable predictors. Among predictors that affect the individual level of a person’s resilience in older age, we consider the participation in different types of activities and personal coping strategies to respond to challenges through the life-course. The article presents the results of a correlation analysis of resilience with the financial, consumer and labor behavior of older adults. We have revealed that the types of financial and consumer behavior, information and communication practices significantly differ for individuals with different resilience levels. Constructive coping with the new conditions and requirements for the well-being allows older adults to maintain a high level of resilience and participation in society. Older people, focused on mastering new skills for a successful life in a changing world, have high indicators of resilience, focus on self-confidence, energy, preventive overcoming of difficulties, have low rates of catastrophic situations.

Summary
The study is relevant due to the need to determine the ability of the older generation to adapt to the changing socio-economic and sociocultural conditions at the society level and to identify the features of adaptation to a new goal- and value-semantic stage of life at the individual level. A person is faced with certain conditions that facilitate or impede the achievement of his goals, and the way they positions themselves, react to difficulties and what subsequent actions they take, determines the level of resistance to problems and the desire to change the situation - the resilience. The coping process changes the individual value-semantic sphere In this context, resilience reflects the subjective wellbeing of a person and is associated with motivation and practice of transforming stressful life events, the level of self-efficacy and satisfaction with one's own
