Abstract

The concept of successful ageing has instigated the imagination of laypeople, policy stakeholders, and researchers because it offers an alternative to gloomy stereotypes of decline, disability, and dependence commonly associated with old age. Successful ageing proposes an opportunity to transition smoothly from middle-life into old age, with none of the negative stereotypes commonly associated with old age. However, this opportunity comes at a price. This chapter aims to describe and illustrate the ageist features inherited in the concept of successful ageing and its negative, unintended consequences on older people and society at large. The chapter also describes how other- and self-directed ageism may prevent people from ageing successfully. Recommendations for concept refinement and policy are discussed.

成功老龄化和老年歧视
成功老龄化的概念激发了外行人、政策利益相关者和研究人员的想象力,因为它为通常与老年相关的衰退、残疾和依赖等令人沮丧的刻板印象提供了另一种选择。成功的老龄化提供了一个从中年顺利过渡到老年的机会,没有通常与老年有关的负面刻板印象。然而,这个机会是有代价的。本章旨在描述和说明成功老龄化概念中继承的年龄歧视特征及其对老年人和整个社会的负面,意想不到的后果。本章还描述了他人和自我导向的年龄歧视如何阻止人们成功地老龄化。讨论了概念改进和政策建议。
