Aging Vignettes No. 66-96
Barriers to Seniors' Autonomy |
This fifth series of Aging Vignettes addresses the issue of barriers to
seniors' autonomy. Previous series* covered the following topics: Canada's
Seniors, Health and Seniors, Dementia in Canada, and the Public Pension
System. They are produced as part of National Advisory Council on Aging
(NACA's) mandate to disseminate information and are intended for people
who are interested in aging and who care about seniors.
In these Vignettes, the word 'seniors' refers to people 65+. This is
not meant to suggest that the population group 65+ represents a homogeneous
group. The Council recognizes that seniors are as heterogeneous and often
more so than other age groups.
As a rule the latest data available were cited. Because the sources are
varied and may cover a number of years, the year the data were collected
is referenced. As was the case in previous series of Aging Vignettes the
reader should note that no effort was made to analyze or interpret the
facts stated.
The Council welcomes your comments on these Aging Vignettes and suggestions
for future editions.
* Please note that Aging Vignettes no 1 to 65 are available in print format
by contacting the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA).
