It provides an interdisciplinary framework to analyze various forms of civic participation, including informal helping, formal volunteering, political involvement, digital engagement, and associational membership. The book highlights the diverse experiences of older populations, encompassing individuals with disabilities, migrants, residents of aged-care facilities, and those living in urban or rural disadvantaged areas. By integrating life-course and ecological perspectives, the editors aim to deepen understanding of how societal transitions impact civic engagement in later life. The work is intended for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in aging, social gerontology, and public policy. It emphasizes the importance of fostering inclusive and participatory environments to empower older adults across different contexts and communities.Generated by AI.Ageing in a Global Context SeriesSocial gerontologyGenerated by AIOlder peopleGenerated by AISocial gerontologyOlder people305.26Dolores ón Valpuesta María1820340Grinshteyn Erin1820341Skinner Mark1293069Levasseur Mélanie1820342Nyqvist Fredrica1820343Celdrán Montserrat1820344Vercauteren Toon1820345Reuter Arlind1820346Torres Sandra1820347Chacur Karima1820348MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996662862203316Civic Engagement in Later Life4382233UNISA
