Samenvatting:This article aims on the one hand to present the positions of large international organisations on the idea of working into old age and on the other, more basically, to provide methodological references that will be robust enough to permit a critical heuristic examination. Notwithstanding the reduction of the term to simply extending the length of careers, the idea of ‘active aging’ is also given life by a variety of different interpretations and holistic currents of thought. These two approaches are reflected in the stances taken by players on the international scene. In conclusion we examine the new European perspectives opened up by the choice of the EU to name 2012 as the Year of active aging and intergenerational solidarity.
