Abstract

In this paper the results are documented which derived from the Perception and Attitudes towards Ageing and seniors (PATAS) survey completed in early 2014. These results delve into respondents beliefs about achieving successful ageing – what it constitutes how it can be achieved and respondents’ appraisal of their preparation to age successfully. The respondents’ experience of age in terms of quality of life, integration within the community and their experience and attitudes towards ageism. Perceptions about lifelong learning and employability, especially what motivates older persons to consider such pursuits, are also reported.
