Description
The paper discusses the concept of ageing with focus on adult roles as
challenged in modern technological era by the need to match changes
with corresponding behaviours. Among social, cultural, and
economic factors on which adult roles depend are gender roles,
assertion of independence by adults from parents, marriage, child
rearing, parenting older adults and related health issues, as well as
adjustment to changing adult roles. The paper recommends the development of appropriate skills in coping with challenges in the
process of ageing; and that help should be sought on difficulties to
ensure effective adjustment.
