Abstract :

Over the past couple of generations, the concept of old age has changed significantly. Today's perception of old age is one of energy, resourcefulness, and engagement during the early years. An actively aging policy aims to keep older people involved in society to boost their caliber of life. According to this article's argument, the foundation for active aging is laid throughout the life course. Young people's and middle-aged people's health-related behaviors have long-term repercussions in old life. Additional life course impacts arise because social engagement and health conditions are integrated. This summary traces the evolution of active aging in response to societal shifts, contrasting the idea with successful aging and other expressions related to "aging well." It shows how a limited economic or productivity interpretation of active aging has dominated its application in reality, giving priority to extending working life to lessen the "burden" of population aging. In addition to taking into consideration socioeconomic disparities among older people, such as those based on gender and ability level, active aging strategies must harness these long-term repercussions. Examples of foreign policies illustrate how such initiatives can and ought to consider the needs of all senior citizens, including third- and fourth-graders.
