• W2992504017 abstract "ABSTRACT.This paper is an attempt to re-position perceptions and contributions of older people in contemporary Australian society. The world is undergoing a profound demographic shift, with almost every nation state experiencing population ageing on a scale that is unprecedented. This means that we have to search for new models by which to grow old and challenge stereotypes that there is only one acceptable way of doing so. The dominant view of adult ageing has recently changed from one based on dependency to one based on economic contribution. However if we are to successfully move to a new cultural environment - one that accepts age diversity and eschews age prejudice - we must consider a wide range of ways in which older adults can make a contribution. It would not be too much to say that we currently experience a poverty of meaning in our understanding of adult ageing. To address this poverty of meaning this paper draws on a series of social, cultural and historical ideas from which alternative understandings of ageing and later life are identified and discussed. Scholarly articles and texts from a range of disciplines form basis of analysis, presenting a rich array of options for older adults. The discussion suggests that multiple sources of meaning are available to older adults, many of which counter dominant and acceptable ways of growing old in contemporary society.Keywords: ageing; older adults; life course; social policy; identity; diversityReceived 25 February 2014 * Received in revised form 28 May 2014Accepted 15 June 2014 * Available online I April 20151. IntroductionThis project initially set out to capture diversity of ageing experience. It aimed to identify different ways older adults have established meaning and made sense of their lives. Inevitably, such a project is selective and incomplete in scope and interpretation. As a first step we have collated a number of models for growing old. It has been done in a relatively straightforward fashion: determining those factors - age, gender, ethnicity, nationality and religion - used to define diversity and establishing a broad set of categories from which discrete models of later life could then be built. It was also assumed that an examination of different social, cultural and historical perspectives of ageing would allow a common set of values on later life to emerge. This required a substantial re-think of what an increasingly diverse and ageing population means socially and culturally. As such, following study intends to make a small but valuable contribution to what should become an area of interest in ageing research and policy.Ageing policy, ageing identities and intergenerational relations are, according to Biggs and Kimberley (2013), simultaneously in flux. As demographics change there is a level of uncertainty on what ageing means now and will mean in future. There is thus a need to widen frame of reference in which ageing policy and research is developed. This involves an exploration of different meanings of later life and ageing experience, an area that should be of interest to those concerned with ageing policies, aged care service providers and older adults in general.PolicyWhile diversity of ageing experience may be given greater emphasis in some circles, there is an equally strong tendency to render ageing more manageable and controlled (Estes, Biggs & Phillipson 2009; see also Daatland & Biggs 2006). The dominance of active and productive ageing discourses, while initially constructed around multiple possibilities, has worked to narrow sources of personal meaning in later life. According to Moulaert and Biggs (2012) the original of mature identity may have been a missed opportunity: tracing genealogy of active and productive ageing, authors show how notions of flexibility and opportunity quickly morphed during 1990s and 2000s into a new rigidity, legitimizing certain pathways of growing old. …" @default.
