GUTIERREZ CUELLAR, Paola Carmina. Perceptions, images and opinions of the old age from the perspective of adult and young people in México. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.75, pp.197-237. ISSN 1665-0565. https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v26i75.7024.
This article presents the results of a research that looked for explore the perceptions, images and opinions about old age in the population between eighteen and fifty-nine years old in Mexico. For that porpoise, the Encuesta Nacional de Envejecimiento, made by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at 2015, is reviewed. The results show, in general, that images and perceptions define old age as a stage and not as a process. Particularly, the research shows that that stage is thought as weaknesses and losses, which are combined with contradictory opinions about the families and state intervention to give palliative care, and the recognition of some rights of older persons.
