| Sumario: | One of the priority areas of aging policies in the current context focuses on active aging programs. This study examines perceptions of the adequacy of these policies in terms of social resources and programs for older adults in Castilla-La Mancha. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through key informant interviews and a focus group with participants aged 55 to 64. The analytical categories were designed to assess both the current situation and the expected developments over the next ten years. The findings reveal a diverse profile within this age group, with a range of unmet needs persisting due to dominant stereotypical views of old age. Discourse on resources and programs for older adults is fragmented based on levels of activity and socio-educational background. However, all participants emphasize the stigmatization of specialized services for older people, environmental barriers to access, and the need for policies that address their real and current needs. This study advocates for public policies that recognize the diversity within this population group and support their autonomy in making decisions about self-care. |
