Abstract
The question is when the fourth age, understood as “real” old age, begin? In the other words, when a person lost enough of his/her autonomy, agency to be labeled as fourth ager? In my presentation I will discussed these various definitions and perception of fourth age and will demonstrate the importance of this topic for understanding of contemporary demographic changes. I will follow the occurrence of various health limitations in the context of chronological age, and people’s perceptions of themselves in the context of the onset of these health limitations. Using secondary analysis of data from SHARE 2010 (Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe). I focus on possible variance in relation to gender, and degree of social, economic, and cultural capital; that is, whether the “third” to “fourth” age transition varies depending on these characteristics.
