In “disengagement” theory (Havighurst et al. 1963), a crucial factor was considered to be the “functioning” of the individual, which varies along the lifetime. Aging in this view means a separation from the productive social role, having strong implications at the time of retirement, leading to potential marginalization of individuals. Criticism of this theory has also emerged. While, the negative side of retirement may certainly be true in some cases, we have also discussed in previous sections that it may be a very happy and productive period of life for other individuals.

Hello. I am aware that the traditional method of evaluating poverty is based on money while ignoring the results. I therefore wonder if there is another way to measure poverty.

I think using secondary data is very practical and affordable. Some of the measures, though, are not. May I ask for your advice on it?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
