Lecture Human development - Family, place, culture (2nd edition) - Chapter 11: A diversity of older adults. This chapter includes contents: The changing demography of age groups, living longer: historical changes in the population, ageism and discourses of late adulthood,. | Chapter 11 A diversity of older adults The changing demography of age groups 20 to 30 years have been added to the average life expectancy for people in affluent countries (incl. NZ). There are elders who have extensive knowledge of history than there were for previous generations. The third age: 60 to 90 years of age There are discrepancies in life expectancy around the world (in 2012, the oldest person was 115 years). Quality of life is just as important as the length of one's life span. The 'fourth age' refers to people over 85 years. Living longer: historical changes in the population Proportions of younger children to older people is changing. New Zealand women are having fewer children. The oldest of the baby boom generation are reaching their 60s. People are living longer. Both Māori and Pacific populations are younger than the Pākehā population, with fewer people over age 65. This trend of a younger population for Māori and Pacific people is likely to decrease in future. There has been an increase in the Asian population. Ageism and discourses of late adulthood Older people go through stages just as younger people do. Old people are not all the same. Periods in later life have led to a diversity of different paths rather than 'stages'. Ageism: prejudice based on age Stereotype of an old person: alone, ill and isolated This stereotype can lead to psychological challenges for living in society. Ageing as loss: there exists a discourse of older people thought to be slower and less efficient. Health concerns for older New Zealanders and ageing as gain Certain illnesses and conditions are more prevalent in older people. Relationships are crucial to the wellbeing of older adults and they can influence children (interdependence). Ageing as gain: more positive discourse sees ageing as a process of getting older and bolder. Some cultures place great value on their old people, . Māori and Chinese elders are respected.
