DE LA VILLA MORAL JIMENEZ, María. Intergenerational Programs and Social Participation: The Integration of Spanish and Latin-American Seniors in the Community. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.1, pp.157-175. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy16-1.pips.

According to a dialectical context of lifetime analysis perspective, provides a psychosocial study of intergenerational relationships in familiar contexts. Emphasis is placed on the similarities and differences of the process of aging in European and Latin-American contexts attending to the process of post modernization of the family and to macro situational aspects. It also promotes active aging and optimizing overcoming the paradigm of decay and loss, for which values the development and revitalization of social and community participation of older people in intergenerational programs. We conclude that in our societies, the Mediterranean and Latin-America, the proliferation of social support networks based on the commitment of the reciprocity and inter generational are a clear example of the paradigm of the productive aging.

Palabras clave : active aging; social age; intergenerational programs; domestic commitment.
