Abstract
While the term “age-friendly” has become ubiquitous in the field of social gerontology, a clear definition of the term remains elusive. In an effort to clarify the role of age-friendly initiatives, Menec and colleagues presented a framework focused on social connectivity within an ecological model. The articles in this special issue address issues raised by this approach and its implications for policy, programs and scientific research.Keywords
