The strengths and opportunities of ageing and the ageing population are a significant topic of discussion in today's society. Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm that seeks to challenge the dominant image of ageing, which often portrays it as a period of decline, dependency, and vulnerability. Instead, it recognizes ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities for growth, development, and inclusion. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment aims to create an inclusive, age-friendly society that allows everyone to grow old with dignity and meaning.
In this book, leading academics from various disciplines come together to explore ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. The topics covered include resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons' perspectives in research and care, and empowering policies. Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers, and practitioners who are passionate about empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.
Contributors to this book include Jasper De Witte (KU Leuven), Tine Van Regenmortel (KU Leuven / Tilburg University), Leen Heylen (Thomas More), Benedicte De Koker (HOGENT), Dimitri Mortelmans (University of Antwerp), Anja Declercq (KU Leuven), Elena Bendien (Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Susan Woelders (Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Tineke Abma (Leiden University Medical Center / Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing), Meriam Janssen (Tilburg University), Katrien Luijkx (Tilburg University), Aukelien Scheffelaar (Tilburg University), Annerieke Stoop (Tilburg University), Jozef Pacolet (KU Leuven), Gregorio Rodríguez Cabrero (University of Alcalá), Simón Sosvilla-Rivero (Complutense University of Madrid), and Katrien S.
Overall, Silver Empowerment provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the strengths and opportunities of ageing and the ageing population. It offers valuable insights and strategies for promoting the empowerment of older persons and creating an inclusive, age-friendly society. By embracing the positive aspects of ageing, we can work towards a future where everyone can thrive and contribute to society in meaningful ways.
