| Annotation | The world is ageing, and the percentages of older people are on a dramatic ascent. This dramatic demographic ageing of human society is not gender neutral; it is mostly about older women. One of the key policy approaches to address the ageing revolution is known as "active ageing", crystalised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002 by three pillars: participation, health and security. The active ageing policy has financial and economic aspects and affects both men and women. However, as argued in this article, a gender-based approach has not been adopted within the existing active ageing framework. Therefore, a new gender-specific research agenda is needed, one that focuses on an interrelationship between gender and different economic aspects of "active ageing" from international, comparative, cultural and longitudinal perspectives.
