Abstract

With the entrance to longevity society, ageing and older adults became more frequent research subjects. However, we could argue that men and women have different experiences with the ageing processes; thus, it is important to understand the concept of ageing with certain sensitivity to gender and age intersection. With the transition from middle to older age, men tend to exclude themselves from different types of participation in society, or the participation differs from women and their experiences.
