Age, vulnerability and disability
Mattsson, Titti LU
(2018)
p.37-49
- Abstract
- This chapter is one of two theoretical pieces in this international collection. The aim is to challenge the traditional perception of who is a vulnerable person by discussing the concept from the vulnerability theory standpoint that basically accepts vulnerability as a universal state of being. It discusses the risk that the distribution of public services ends up being based on age absent considered rationale or practical or policy benefits, which in practice becomes an ageist approach.
