Activist ageing

This approach investigates how ageing is imagined (in mostly Western societies), how ageism operates, and how elders respond to exclusion.

[1][2] Many elders, and especially women, are involved in organizations that aim to effect social change on issues related to ageing or in general.

It is only in recent years that attempts to frame the global elder rights movement within an ideology began to build up.

[7] Canadian governmental services offered through various Internet portals require greater technological skills from the part of elders, who need to comply in order to get information about their rights or specific programs.

[2] Other kinds of projects also aim to enhance digital literacy among elders, such as the workshops taking place at the Atwater Library in Montreal.
