The
concept of ageing society includes the quantitative factor that there will be more and
more older people according to population transitions. But, at the same time,
qualitative factors such as quality of life, identity changes and the
experience of high changes in the subjectivity need to be included alongside
these quantitative factors. So, the purpose and significance of the paper
indicate that is necessaryto ensure structures that can tolerate the new scenarios of this current
generation of older people, who seek new life options, renewed emotional
perspectives and transgenerational confrontation with traditional models of ageing and
grandparenthood.
