- Title
Why We Need a Broader Framework for Solo Agers.
- Authors
Campa, Linda J.
- Abstract
Considering solo older adults from a personal level is an important and valuable perspective. It is, however, an incomplete strategy. Understanding context is essential to removing barriers and developing the resources Solo Agers need to thrive during the second half of life. A broader view will help shed light on the kinds of assumptions, outdated practices, and customs built into policies, institutions, and financial tools. These often create barriers that can only be addressed through collaboration and collective action.
