Opinions, expectations and evaluations about different forms of social inclusion / exclusion of the elderly in Chile Opiniones, expectativas y evaluaciones sobre diferentes modalidades de inclusión/exclusión social de los adultos mayores en Chile

Abstract

The increasing elderly population in our country generates a series of questions regarding the mechanisms that help or hinder their social integration. Our research aimed to reveal, through the implementation of a national survey, opinions, expectations and evaluations of different forms of social inclusion and exclusion of adults. The result of the study revealed the lack of preparation, both personal and as a country, to address the Population aging, along with a demand for collective solutions, mainly of a political-state character to face the challenges that accompany this demographic shift.
