Social Gerontology

Social gerontology is the study of aging and its social aspects. It examines how society influences the experiences of older adults, including issues like policies, healthcare, social relationships, and the impact of ageism. This field looks at how communities can support aging populations and improve their quality of life, addressing challenges such as isolation, access to resources, and the roles older adults play in society. By understanding these social dynamics, researchers and practitioners can help create more inclusive environments that honor and support the needs of older individuals.
