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.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aAgeing in a Global Context Series 606 $aSocial gerontology$7Generated by AI 606 $aOlder people$7Generated by AI 615 0$aSocial gerontology 615 0$aOlder people 676 $a305.26 700 $aDolores ón Valpuesta$b María$01820340 701 $aGrinshteyn$b Erin$01820341 701 $aSkinner$b Mark$01293069 701 $aLevasseur$b Mélanie$01820342 701 $aNyqvist$b Fredrica$01820343 701 $aCeldrán$b Montserrat$01820344 701 $aVercauteren$b Toon$01820345 701 $aReuter$b Arlind$01820346 701 $aTorres$b Sandra$01820347 701 $aChacur$b Karima$01820348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911002541403321 996 $aCivic Engagement in Later Life$94382233 997 $aUNINA
