The older population is spreading all around the world. This expansion questions the roles and well-being of elderly. Well-being must be the ulimate goal of individuals and public policy. The EIDLL network published a Survey which explores the relationship between well-being and ageing. The purpose of this paper is to define the concept of “ageing well” and to review a set of factors impacting seniors well-being. 

"L'Erreur de Faust: Essai sur la Société du Vieillissement" introduces a completely new concept : Ageing Society. It is a concept of rupture: a quarter to a third of the population will spend nearly a third of their lives in retirement. It will abruptly change economic trajectories, investment horizons, social an political balances. This large population, educated will not sit idly and will weigh on the governance of our societies.

The authors, Jean-Hervé Lorenzi, François-Xavier Albouy and Alain Villemeur, suggest radical solutions to achieve a harmonious Ageing Society.

The paper "Older adult social participation and its relationship with health: rural-urban differences" written by E.M Volgelsang examines whether there are rural-urban differences in older adult social participation and its relationship with health. Using the 2003 and 2011 waves of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (n=3006), the author find that older adults living in rural counties are less socially active than their counterparts in more-urban counties. Moreover, the relationships between social participation and health vary by the type of activity and rural-urban context.
