Although some realities about aging remain constant, the experience has changed in important ways. Many of these changes are very positive: good health until later in life, continuing engagement with important occupations, improved societal perceptions about aging and older adults. However, these positive changes do not represent universal realities. In some places, older adults continue to be marginalized and devalued. Good health is not a certainty, particularly in the developing world and among lower socioeconomic groups. Ensuring adequate financial and instrumental resources can be a struggle for many.
