Key Points

The absence of a shared social imaginary complicates responses to the ageing society, affecting cultural norms and community interactions.
As ageing populations grow, awareness around their needs remains low, indicating a significant disconnect in societal response.
Consequences of this disconnect include both mutational shifts in societal structures and thanatic tendencies that disregard elder care.
The ageing population raises urgent questions regarding economic and urban policies, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies.

Implication

This paper uncovers dilemmas in the ageing society, highlighting its cultural and economic implications.

Abstract

This paper seeks to present some dilemmas surrounding the ageing society, considering that not even the minimum social imaginary has yet been created around an issue that implies changes in the cultural, economic and urban order, among others. Thus, the imminence of an ageing society is inversely proportional to the awareness of it. This has consequences that are both mutational and thanatic.
