Les épreuves subjectives du vieillissement

How can aging be apprehended? Sociology proposes describing an age group composed of “older persons” by observing individuals in their social setting. This approach takes into account the aging process and individual experiences during retirement. Our objective here is to analyze three dynamic phenomena: how doindividuals live changing stages of life, how to they cope with the retirement phenomenon, how to they reposition themselves within the category of “older persons”. All of these questions involve human dignity, asperceived by the older person or regarding the older person as perceived by others.
