Book Description
Si le vieillissement de la population est un phénomène désormais mondial, c'est en Europe qu'il est le plus visible, où l'on estime qu'une personne sur trois sera âgée de plus de soixante ans d'ici 2050. La Réunion, qui connaît un vieillissement très rapide de sa population, fait s'interroger les pouvoirs publics sur les leviers d'action pour préserver l'autonomie des seniors. Cet ouvrage décrypte l'écosystème réunionnais de la gérontologie et pourra servir de référence à d'autres études territorialisées.

Book Description
Plaider pour l'instauration d'une différence entre le vieillissement de la population et le vieillissement de l'individu, tel est le but de cet ouvrage. Le vieillissement de la population est généralement retenu pour évaluer, dans le temps, les problèmes de santé et la demande potentielle en soins de santé de la population âgée. En réalité, en dépit de l'effort soutenu par les pays au cours des dernières décennies, les renseignements fiables sur l'état de santé régionaux ou globaux restent limités. Il semble, de plus en plus, que l'on doive retenir le concept de vieillissement de l'individu pour mieux cerner la demande réelle des personnes âgées et, en particulier, leur maintien à domicile. En effet, le vieillissement varie selon les histoires de vie propres à chaque individu. Il faut donc replacer l'aîné dans son contexte social et environnemental pour mieux organiser les soins de proximité.

Book Description
The Seventh Age of Man: Issues, Challenges, and Paradoxes is a collection of academic essays on Old Age. The contributors come from a wide range of fields of expertise, which accounts for the originality of the book. Depending on their respective disciplines, the authors resort to various methodological approaches, from sociological case studies to discourse analysis, and from historical and political theories to media criticism, but they often address similar questions – when are people to be considered as old, what does it mean to be old, how do we deal with ageing – and reach similar conclusions about the paradoxical representations of the elderly, whether in Renaissance Europe or in contemporary China. Although men and women are sometimes treated differently, in most societies, the older generation is alternately perceived as a threat and a burden, or as financial and moral support. If they are often criticized or ridiculed, especially when they try to retain their youthful looks long after their prime, the elderly also trigger a feeling of nostalgia as representatives of a past usually seen as more desirable than the present. Their resilience and independence are regularly emphasized, as well as their wisdom, as a result of their long experience, which helps them to contemplate their ends more serenely and which might turn them into models for their contemporaries.

Book Description
The supportive role of urban spaces in active aging is explored on a world scale in this unique resource, using the WHO’s Age-Friendly Cities and Community model. Case studies from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and elsewhere demonstrate how the model translates to fit diverse social, political, and economic realities across cultures and continents, ways age-friendly programs promote senior empowerment, and how their value can be effectively assessed. Age-friendly criteria for communities are defined and critiqued while extensive empirical data describe challenges as they affect elders globally and how environmental support can help meet them. These chapters offer age-friendly cities as a corrective to the overemphasis on the medical aspects of elders’ lives, and should inspire new research, practice, and public policy. Included in the coverage: A critical review of the WHO Age-Friendly Cities Methodology and its implementation. Seniors’ perspectives on age-friendly communities. The implementation of age-friendly cities in three districts of Argentina. Age-friendly New York City: a case study. Toward an age-friendly European Union. Age-friendliness, childhood, and dementia: toward generationally intelligent environments. With its balance of attention to universal and culture-specific concerns, Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in International Comparison will be of particular interest to sociologists, gerontologists, and policymakers. “Given the rapid adoption of the age-friendly perspective, following its development by the World Health Organization, the critical assessment offered in this volume is especially welcome”. Professor Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester
