Problematizing Silence in Research Involving Vulnerable Older Adults
Millions of older people are living in extreme poverty around the world. Experience suggests that such groups of people often respond with silence in research to express their social position and lived experience of impoverishment, vulnerability, oppression, and marginalization. However, understanding the eloquence that exists within the expression of silence is an empirically neglected phenomenon in scientific research, especially in studies tha…

To date, literature on inter-generat…

Recent research has found that poor women and men resort to informal providers for these problems instead. This paper draws on interviews with 303 providers and 312 women from two rural and one urban ar…
