Unequal ageing patterns are increasingly prevalent within the life courses of heterogeneous older populations. Critical transitions in later life may contribute to these patterns and to more multifaceted deep-rooted forms of social exclusion. Yet despite significant research in this area, knowledge gaps remain regarding the subjective experiences of these transitions, the trajectories and constituent events of these transitions, and the related mechanisms that may drive exclusion. With a focus on lived experience, this article aims to investigate the role of critical life transitions in older age in constructing multidimensional social exclusion. The onset of dementia, bereavement of a significant other, and forced migration are selected as three illustrative transitions in older age. Based on 39 in-depth life-course interviews and life-path analyses, the study sets out to illuminate common features of the transitional process that increases exclusion susceptibility, and the potential commonalities regarding transition-related exclusionary mechanisms. Transition trajectories related to each of the transitions are first described identifying shared exclusionary risk features. Transition-related mechanisms that can generate multidimensional social exclusion are then presented as arising from a transition’s nature and character, its structural and management aspects, and its symbolic and normative positioning. Findings are discussed with reference to the international literature and future conceptualisation of social exclusion in later life.

晚年的社会排斥和关键转变:轨迹、形式和机制

在异质老年人口的生命历程中,不平等的老龄化模式越来越普遍。晚年生活中的关键转变可能会促成这些模式,并导致更多方面的根深蒂固的社会排斥形式。然而,尽管在这一领域进行了大量研究,但在这些转变的主观体验、这些转变的轨迹和构成事件以及可能导致排斥的相关机制方面仍然存在知识差距。本文以生活经验为重点,旨在调查老年时期关键的生活转变在构建多维社会排斥中的作用。痴呆症的发作、失去另一半和被迫迁移被选为老年的三个说明性转变。基于 39 次深入的生命历程访谈和生命路径分析,该研究旨在阐明增加排斥敏感性的过渡过程的共同特征,以及与过渡相关的排斥机制的潜在共性。首先描述与每个转换相关的转换轨迹,以确定共享的排除风险特征。然后,可以产生多维社会排斥的与转型相关的机制被描述为源于转型的性质和特征、其结构和管理方面,以及它的象征和规范定位。研究结果将参考国际文献和未来社会排斥的概念化进行讨论。该研究旨在阐明增加排斥敏感性的过渡过程的共同特征,以及与过渡相关的排斥机制的潜在共性。首先描述与每个转换相关的转换轨迹,以确定共享的排除风险特征。然后,可以产生多维社会排斥的与转型相关的机制被描述为源于转型的性质和特征、其结构和管理方面,以及它的象征和规范定位。研究结果将参考国际文献和未来社会排斥的概念化进行讨论。该研究旨在阐明增加排斥敏感性的过渡过程的共同特征,以及与过渡相关的排斥机制的潜在共性。首先描述与每个转换相关的转换轨迹,以确定共享的排除风险特征。然后,可以产生多维社会排斥的与转型相关的机制被描述为源于转型的性质和特征、其结构和管理方面,以及它的象征和规范定位。研究结果将参考国际文献和未来社会排斥的概念化进行讨论。首先描述与每个转换相关的转换轨迹,以确定共享的排除风险特征。然后,可以产生多维社会排斥的与转型相关的机制被描述为源于转型的性质和特征、其结构和管理方面,以及它的象征和规范定位。研究结果将参考国际文献和未来社会排斥的概念化进行讨论。首先描述与每个转换相关的转换轨迹,以确定共享的排除风险特征。然后,可以产生多维社会排斥的与转型相关的机制被描述为源于转型的性质和特征、其结构和管理方面,以及它的象征和规范定位。研究结果将参考国际文献和未来社会排斥的概念化进行讨论。
