“…In terms of responsibility, the transition from participation as a social-level concept to participation as an individual-level concept that can be identified in Quebec’s public policy can lead to taking for granted environmental, socioeconomic, and symbolic access to participative settings. For example, one exploratory study concluded that older people with disabilities felt excluded from many possibilities of participation, and in particular, places traditionally associated with seniors, such as golden age clubs (Raymond & Pomerleau, 2011; Raymond, Sévigny, & Tourigny, 2011). Seniors with lifelong disabilities outlined how their demands for accommodation with regards to vision and mobility were usually rejected, depriving them of the possibility of participating in leisure activities.…”

Recent discourses on aging emphasize the value of older people's social participation. How participation is defined in policy, however, may not correspond with seniors' realities. This article reports on the results of a critical discourse analysis conducted on aging policy in Quebec between 2005 and 2011. Results indicate that participation definitions can be problematic recommendations, standards, and expectations. Over time, participation increasingly came to be defined as productivity. The participation context also changed from collective responsibility to community adjustment and personal choice. Finally, policy texts reflected a polarization between activity and a loss of autonomy that linked participation with health status. Results suggest that, although innovative in the Canadian context, articulation of participation in Quebec's recent policies on aging lacks the politics from which to discuss difference, otherness, and access to participative opportunities. The case of older people's aging with disabilities illustrates the challenges of the new participatory agenda.

“…Souvent associées à la notion de participation citoyenne, ces pratiques de participation impliquent des formes d'engagement individuel et collectif visant le changement social (Johnson & Mutchler, 2013). Elles s'inscrivent dans un contexte collectif à travers les liens sociaux qui s’établissent entre les personnes d'une même communauté, par exemple, dans la réalisation d'un projet commun (Raymond, Sévigny & Tourigny, 2012).…”

Résumé À partir d'une recherche qualitative menée auprès de femmes âgées de 60 ans et plus, l'article propose une modélisation de la citoyenneté « vécue » dans l'avancée en âge. Construites à partir des pratiques de la vie quotidienne, quatre figures de citoyenneté sont proposées. La présentation des figures met en lumière autant la description des pratiques du quotidien que les finalités d'action qui animent l'agir quotidien. Par la suite, l'analyse narrative examine les diverses formes de citoyenneté vécue des participantes dans le vieillissement. Si les citoyennetés tracées rendent compte de différentes pratiques de participation sociale et d'affiliation au collectif, elles témoignent aussi, par ailleurs, des inégalités sociales et de genre qui sont toujours à l’œuvre pour penser les rapports à la citoyenneté vécue des femmes âgées sous des modes polyphoniques.

“…Indeed, social participation is a key element of well-being [ 9 ], quality of life [ 10 , 11 ], and a strategy to preserve mobility [ 12 ]. Interventions to improve the social participation of older adults, whether they be individual, in a group, formal or informal, are often unavailable [ 13 , 14 ] or respond inadequately to older adults’ needs [ 15 ]. When lacking social participation opportunities, older adults, especially those with disabilities, resign themselves to their situation and stay at home [ 3 ].…”

Background To promote healthy aging, the social participation needs of older adults must be better met. Previous studies have shown the benefits of the Personalized citizen assistance for social participation (APIC), but few explored its influence on attendants. This study explored the assistance experience of attendants in providing the APIC to older adults with disabilities. Methods A qualitative design inspired by a phenomenological approach was used with six female attendants who participated in individual interviews. Results The APIC attendants felt useful, developed meaningful relationships with their older adults, and improved their self-knowledge. Attendants had the opportunity to reflect on their lives and self-aging. They contributed to older adults’ functional independence, motivation, and participation in social activities. Attendants encountered challenges related to withdrawn behavior in older adults, such as refusing to participate in activities. Conclusions Considering the identified benefits of the APIC for attendants, further studies should explore personalized assistance to preserve older adults’ health.
