The Program of Health Volunteer Promoters for OlderAdults: The Well-Being of the Volunteers at Leisure Time

2018

The study of ageing processes has gained increased attention in recent years, partly due to the growth of this population group (United Nations, World population prospects: The 2015 revision. New York: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/publications/files/key_findings_wpp_2015.pdf. Accessed 25 Sep 2016, 2015). Research into this area has focused on older adult well-being (Au et al, Clinical Gerontologist 38:203–210, 2015) and the identification of factors having an influence on well-being at this stage of the life cycle (Carstensen, Current Directions in Psychological Science 4:151–156, 1995). These lines of research have emphasized the con…

La famiglia nell’età anziana e la figura dei nonni. Aspetti educativi e antropologici

2019

Da un decennio a questa parte molte discipline sociali hanno sentito la necessità di indagare, la “nonnitorialità” (se così si può dire) ossia il ruolo dei nonni nella formazione, nell’educazione, nell’accudimento dei nipoti e nella trasmissione culturale. Il che equivale ad ammettere che una definizione di chi siano o cosa siano i nonni oggi non è più possibile fornirla in modo univoco e condiviso. L’ immagine del vecchio nonno, spesso malato, costretto a vivere nella casa dei figli per essere accudito, è stata sostituita da una figura più dinamica, indipendente e realmente presente, dei nonni di oggi. L’anziano di oggi deve quindi affrontare un processo di ridefinizione personale che, a f…

Healthy and active pre-retirement and retirement ages: elderly inequality in Latvia

2019

Pre-retirement and senior population groups are more affected by activity limitations, unemployment and bad perceived health than population in active ages. Data for Latvia and other EU countries demonstrate a warning situation – socio-economic inequalities among elderly are not diminishing as fast as was expected. The aim of the paper is to analyse healthy and active life in pre-retirement and retirement ages to detect changes and inequalities complying with active ageing and public health. Analysis is based on Population Census and SILC data on national, regional and smaller territorial level. Regression models are used to study causal links and relations between the underlying social and…
