The topic of aging has always held great significance for individuals and society. Throughout history and across cultures, there have been societal and individual perceptions of age and aging. Since these images of aging are not merely insignificant byproducts of dealing with aging, but rather create a reality that co-defines it, reflecting on them is an important task. Images of aging always emerge based on specific societal conditions. This book explores the extent to which uncertainties and ambiguities in the life phase of aging play a role in the formation of these images. It is hypothesized that uncertain living conditions in old age lead to negative, contradictory, and/or ambivalent images of aging, which in turn affect the living conditions of older adults.
