Abstract
The introduction sets out to describe the issue of aging being perceived either as a challenge or problem for contemporary society. The links between positive aging theory , active aging policy and views on aging are outlined, and the main research questions and book aims are formulated. A further section of the introduction is dedicated to the methodological framework of the study that formed the base of the present book. Information is offered concerning the choice of study participants and episodic interviews and their methodological relevance for answering the research questions. The last part of the introduction chapter provides a summary of all the chapters included in this book.
