disengagement theory  

Definición

  • Disengagement theory defines the aging process as a period of mutual separation between the old and the young. The theory predicts that the social order requires a transformation among those advancing into old age, from a state of active involvement in society to one of steady withdrawal. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Disengagement Theory]
