“…Scharf et al ( 2001 ) refer to participation and integration, spatial segregation, and institutional disengagement as key exclusion themes, while Scharf ( 2015 ) examines the role of economic austerity in constructing and exacerbating old-age exclusion. The other texts are more operational in nature, emphasising the multidimensionality of exclusion and its risk factors (Patsios 2000 ; Ogg 2005 ; Hoff 2008 ; Hrast et al 2013 ; Lee et al 2014 ; Myck et al 2015 ).…”

“…There is even perceived value in its ambiguity, given that this enhances the flexibility of the concept to reflect different contexts, thereby increasing its conceptual power (Levitas 1998 ; Abrams and Christian 2007 ). Therefore, if appropriately interrogated and tested within gerontology, social exclusion could be helpful in deconstructing multidimensional disadvantage in later life (Myck et al 2015 ). It offers the potential to understand life-course features of old-age disadvantage, including cumulative inequalities and the changes that occur in exclusionary mechanisms over time.…”

Social exclusion of older persons: a scoping review and conceptual framework

2016

As a concept, social exclusion has considerable potential to explain and respond to disadvantage in later life. However, in the context of ageing populations, the construct remains ambiguous. A disjointed evidence-base, spread across disparate disciplines, compounds the challenge of developing a coherent understanding of exclusion in older age. This article addresses this research deficit by presenting the findings of a two-stage scoping review encompassing seven separate reviews of the international literature pertaining to old-age social exclusion. Stage one involved a review of conceptual frameworks on old-age exclusion, identifying conceptual understandings and key domains of later-life exclusion. Stage two involved scoping reviews on each domain (six in all). Stage one identified six conceptual frameworks on old-age exclusion and six common domains across these frameworks: neighbourhood and community; services, amenities and mobility; social relations; material and financial resources; socio-cultural aspects; and civic participation. International literature concentrated on the first four domains, but indicated a general lack of research knowledge and of theoretical development. Drawing on all seven scoping reviews and a knowledge synthesis, the article presents a new definition and conceptual framework relating to old-age exclusion.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10433-016-0398-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…From the perspective promoting health, encouraging volunteerism in old age as a mean of tackling these issues may be a vital step (Hirschfelder & Reilly, 2007;as cited in Theurer & Wister, 2010). Public policy and academic debate should also take dimensions into account that go beyond older people' health and material conditions, such as access to public facilities, services, and social relations (Myck et al, 2015). More research is needed to understand the most effective ways to promote health through social capital among older people who've migrated.…”

During the 1960s, Germany received high numbers of Turkish labor migrants, and this first generation has currently reached to old age. This qualitative research aims to discuss the social networks and engagements of these older Turkish migrants who have aged in Germany. Academia has shown growing interest in the importance of social capital of older people in the form of their social networks, social support, and social participation. This study focuses on their daily social interactions in Germany. The findings reveal that participation in associations, social clubs, and neighborhood social groups enables them to re-establish new social roles in postretirement period and after their child-bearing years. Their small groups, which meet regularly, are valuable emotional support resources. Their relatively low human capital is argued to influence the homogeneity of their social networks, but not the variety of social engagements.

“…These two indices represent a possible quantification of deprivation among people above 50. In ( [Adena, et al 2015], [Myck, et al 2015]) the analysis of the defined indices and relationship with (for example) subjective life satisfaction is given from the point of view of sociology and theory of composite indicators and surveys; the statistical analysis of data is given for the whole dataset and all participating countries.…”

“…Our approach is only descriptive without any statistical inference. If both indices well quantify deprivation (and in this respect, we rely on authors´abilities and the analysis of included items given in ( [Adena, et al 2015], [Myck, et al 2015]), the mixture models provide information about components as well about the overall distribution. For the comparison, we fit distribution also by maximum likelihood method.…”

In the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) the European population aged over 50 is of interest; SHARE provides a multidisciplinary approach that delivers the comprehensive picture of the ageing process in Europe. In the fifth wave of the survey (carried out in 2013) two composite indicators of deprivation are evaluated. The answers to the selected questions (11 items for the material deprivation index and 15 items for the social deprivation index) from the survey are weighted into two composite indices with values transformed to the interval from 0 to 1. In the contribution, the empirical distributions of these indices in the Czech Republic are analysed and dependence on gender and size of household is treated. A mixture of two normal distributions for social inclusion index and a mixture of one discrete and two normal distributions for the index of material deprivation are fitted into the data. The models identify two homogenous subpopulations for social deprivation index and for positive values of material deprivation. 40 percent of respondents without any material deprivation were found in our data in comparison with less than 1 percent for the social deprivation index. Maximum likelihood estimates are compared to estimates obtained by the moment method based on robust moments.
