- Title
Vieillissement actif et enjeux de la formation dans le temps de retraite.
- Authors

- Abstract
On the basis of a study of participation in education in regular universities and universities labelled "for all ages," this article investigates the concept of active aging through an analysis of retirees' attitudes toward and relationship with learning. With cultural interests pulling in one direction and economic forces in another, aging while staying "active" through continuing education is no longer limited to the cultural sphere. Other relationships to learning — keeping busy, being useful, taking up a new career — are developing that reflect contemporary issues pertaining to education as an activity in this stage of life.
