The expected, perceived, and valued social roles of older people: a secondary analysis of European surveys
Original language description
This presentation uses the Active Ageing Index as an ?operationalisation? of the dominant policy paradigm ? active ageing ? and compares it with selected results of an analysis of the Eurobarometer Active Ageing survey (2012) and the European Value Study(2008) as sources of information on the perceived roles and contributions of older people in today?s Europe, and on older peoples´ own preferences and prevalent role sets. This comparison provides an answer to the question of whether expected, evaluated, perceived, and valued roles are by consent. The active ageing concept highlights economically and socially productive roles such as worker, volunteer, and care provider, the first two of which are also given the highest weight in the Active Ageing Index measure. However, the surveys show that older people are socially recognised primarily for their contributions as grandparents and providers of support for families.
