Toplam
nüfus içindeki payı her geçen yıl artan yaşlılar yalnızca demografik
özellikleri değil; sosyal özellikleri de etkilemeye başlamıştır. Gençlerin,
yetişkinlerin ve yaşlıların yaşlılara yönelik değerlendirmeleri, araştırılması
gereken bir konu haline gelmiştir. Her canlının normal şartlar altında yaşaması
beklenilen bir dönem olan yaşlılığa; çeşitli yaş gruplarındaki bireylerin
yükledikleri anlamlar önem arz eden bir konudur. Yaşlılara yönelik
değerlendirmeler, toplumsal bütünleşmenin sağlanmasından, yaşlılara sunulan
imkânlara kadar pek çok konuyu etkilemektedir.
Elders, whose share in population are increasing every year, are not only affecting
demographic characteristics; social characteristics have also begun to affect. Young people's, adults' and the elderly's perception towards elderness has become a subject that needs to be
investigated. The meanings that individuals in different ages load to the elderness which is a
period that expected to be lived under normal circumstances, are important. The perception
towards elderly influences many aspects such as social integration and opportunities offered
to elders.
Much of the work done on the elderly so far are based on economics, health, law, psychology.
The originality of the study comes from the investigation on the perception towards elderness
and how it is shaped by individuals from all ages including rural and urban areas. As a result
of the research, the negative meaning attached to elderness in Turkey has been determined
and detailed with reasons.
