This project examines the complex and multifaceted nature of vulnerability in everyday life, focusing on older adults (65+). Moving beyond a purely healthcare-centered perspective, we explore how vulnerability emerges in social interactions, community engagement, and access to essential services.
Through a Citizen science approach, we will collaborate with older adults as co-researchers, ensuring that their lived experiences shape the broader understanding of vulnerability and its implications for policy and practice.
Addressing vulnerability entails a focus on the structural inequalities that limit older adults’ access to care and support, as these disparities not only affect individual well-being but also contribute to broader societal and economic challenges and inequality.
