| Title | The older adult - His contribution to the community of South Africa | |
| Creator | Droskie, Z. | |
| Description | Growing old involves biological, emotional and social changes. Life roles change but will depend on personal life patterns of work and activity, relationships and attitude. There is a loss in activities requiring speed, but a gain in that requiring carefulness, thoroughness and the use of previous experience. Retirement usually results in adjusting to a low, fixed income. Accumulated skills, knowledge, judgement, wisdom and perspective are lost, yet productivity and creativity can be utilised if the older person is allowed to pursue a career pattern suitable to his needs. | |
