Abstract:

This paper provides an approximation to the issue of intergenerational relations, from the perspective of aging and old age as a way to face the challenges involved in population growth. In this context, a succinct overview about the interest this topic has aroused is presented, in order to achieve the goal advanced by the United Nations: “one society for all ages”. Some light is shed upon the scope of the concept and the dynamics that should go with intergenerational dialogue and its implications in the sphere of human relations.

Keywords: aging, old age, relations, intergenerational, multigenerational, society.
