SOCIAL VULNERABILITIES AND AGEING
Cuvinte cheie:
vulnerabilitate socială, etichetare, persoane în vârstă, reţele sociale, stereotipuri, migraţieRezumat
Vulnerabilitatea socială este adesea legată de procesul de îmbatranire a persoanelor sau cohortelor de peste o anumită vârstă. Dimensiunea socială a vulnerabilității reflectă factori și mecanisme ale vulnerabilității exogene sau extrinseci. Dintre aceştia, factorii care au potential major de a influenta viata adultilor mai în vârstă sunt: statusul socio-economic (SES), deprivarea, suportul social, izolarea sau excluderea socială, rețelele sociale, implicarea socială, sentimentul de control asupra circumstanțelor de viață, implicarea socială, reţelele şi coeziunea socială. Articolul aduce în prim plan aceste probleme concentrându-se pe pericolul stereotipizărilor. Caracteristici ale vulnerabilităţii sociale sunt evidențiate în contexte specifice, inclusiv cel al migrației. Concluzionăm privind îmbătrânirea ca un proces individual, susținut de stiluri de viață diferite, de diverse probleme personale și sociale ale persoanelor în etate, de așteptările lor, de soluțiile existente şi propuse. Pretinderea omo¬genităţii procesului de imbatranire şi asocierea unei vârste cronologice – în situaţia de faţă vârsta înaintată - cu fragilitatea, neputinţa, riscul, constituie factori care susțin vulnerabilitatea socială.Referințe
