| Annotation | The workshop, Old-age Vulnerabilities: Asian and European Perspectives, took place in Malang, Indonesia in July 2004. The aim was to examine the outcomes that older people feel vulnerable to, the circumstances that contribute to their vulnerability, and the coping capacities that mitigate the consequences. The intention of papers presented in this themed issue of Ageing and Society is to highlight aspects of insecurity and lack of well-being in old age. The guest editors draw together the various overarching themes (pp 3-8); and in the first paper, consider different "ingredients" of vulnerability and their interactions. Other papers are case studies that illustrate the cultural contexts of disadvantaged and marginalised groups: the effects of migration, social structure and old-age support in three Indonesian communities; ill health and care support in urban areas of Indonesia; identifying vulnerable older people in Thailand; and European perspectives on ageing and vulnerable older people.
