| Annotation | The author argues that retirement, pensions, residential care, and other passive forms of community care have promoted and reinforced social dependency of older people. Empirical evidence challenges such assumptions, which is outlined in greater detail in the original complete version of this article in Ageing and Society, vol 1, no 1, March 1991. |
