However, dignity is an elusive concept. What does dignity mean and imply for the position of elderly in our communities? The concept of dignity contains several layers: it refers at least to societal status, self-respect, and recognition. All of these aspects will be analyzed and their impact on elderly will be explored (1). Subsequently, sessions will be dedicated to the societal impact of a globally ageing population (2), an introduction to basic gerontological theories (3), the politics of care for the elderly from an ethics of care perspective (4) and the question how human dignity can be uphold in caring for older adults suffering from dementia (5).
