• W2259076156 abstract "Childless people are seen as 'at risk??? of inadequate as they grow older, given the reliance on family for ageing populations. Yet this assumption has not been explored with older people. What are the experiences and expectations that they have of support, given and received? I interviewed 38 older people aged 63 to 93 (average age 80), of diverse partner status, sexual orientation, socioeconomic and health status. My work is framed by Rom Harre?????s positioning theory, which explores how people position themselves and others within social interactions and storylines. Distinct from the more static idea of roles, positioning is active and dynamic. It provides a meaningful framework to understand changing and contradictory arguments, stances and ways of talking about particular groups or experiences. I also draw on William Randall???s narrative gerontology, which privileges older people???s narratives, and on Judith Butler???s call to trouble taken-for-granted categories, such as childless or older. Detailed analysis of the participants??? positions and storylines show childlessness is a dynamic journey through life, not a simply defined state. Participants resist or reposition normative storylines of pronatalism and ageism. Involvement with other people???s children highlight connections that are possible outside of nuclear-family norms. Older men, whose childlessness has been little explored, have richly diverse positions in relation to non-parenthood and ageing. I investigate a counternarrative that childlessness can be a good preparation for growing older, rather than necessarily a risk factor. Categories of (such as emotional or social) and types of supporters (such as friends or family) are often used in survey research and policy as if their meanings are fixed and transparent, and as if older people are net receivers of support. In contrast, my participants employ support as a complex concept, within which they include self-support, help from strangers, and lifetime networks at a size that fits. Many give a lot of support, including through voluntary work and charitable bequests. Participants often locate their narratives of support, childlessness and ageing within storylines of capability and independence, rather than loneliness and lack. Their experiences show the importance of understanding how is positioned across the lifespan, and how it is enacted across delicately negotiated exchanges, often within reciprocal relationships. These insights are applicable to policy and practice, and potentially to the non-childless majority. Better understanding of the perspectives of older people on childlessness, and growing older is provided by my research which has wide-ranging relevance as childlessness and ageing populations increase worldwide." @default.
