abstract: 'Although some studies have confirmed positive associations between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social engagement and well-being in later life, this study aimed to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understand why some seniors cannot be engaged. The authors analyzed the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lived experiences of 89 seniors in three rural communities in Canada,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from semi-structured interviews and using the constant comparison
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
method. Five factors make choices for social engagement in later life
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unequal among older adults who differ by gender, class, age, and health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status. Profound engagement in care work, compulsory altruism, personal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resources, objectively perceived and subjectively available engagement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities, and ageist barriers around paid work constrain choices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for seniors who lack privilege in the context of a market economy,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly for low-income older women. To avoid stigmatizing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vulnerable older persons, societal barriers to meaningful activities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
must be addressed - for example, through provision of income security or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by reversing inter- and intragenerational ageism in access to the labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market.'
