Abstract

Using data from statistical sources and official reports, the authors propose a critical approach to aging in Colombia, specifically from the point of view of public policy in progress or in planning. The main hypothesis is that these measures refuse comprehensive treatment of the ageing in terms of needs and rights promoting a pure welfare system which, instead, contributes to reinforce a collective imagination of a dependent and impoverished old age, with fatal consequences that sustain and reproduce the socioeconomic system.
