Ageing and Welfare in Transition
Social, Legal, Economic, and Mobility Perspectives for an Inclusive Society
Synopsis
The volume advances an integrated argument for inclusion in aging societies, demonstrating that aging cannot be reduced to behavioral exhortation. Participation is stratified by available resources; autonomy is shaped by urban infrastructures; rights are mediated through digital systems that can both enable and exclude; and mobility depends on the alignment of infrastructure, technology, cost structures, and governance.
Three core themes run throughout: equity and stratification, infrastructure understood in a broad sense, and context-sensitive policies. The book’s distinctive contribution lies in combining quantitative, qualitative, legal, and systems-based approaches to translate inclusion into concrete governance and design requirements. Its central message is clear: inclusion will not emerge from invoking “active aging,” but from embedding it structurally within the institutions and infrastructures that organize participation, services, and mobility.
