Abstract

The central axis of this article focuses on the need to change model and to consider ageing as a Human Rights issue; from research and theory, as well as from the public policies. In order to understand the social inequalities that are located in the centre of one of the most crucial demographic phenomenon of the century, the articles provides and analyses other necessary perspectives, such as the methodological approach focusing on Human Rights and the introduction of age as a transversal perspective.
