AB - The study attempts to critically review the concepts and premises of 'new aging' policy narratives specially focused on active aging, successful aging and productive aging. The 'new aging' policy has been vesting large power since the years of 2000 on international directions of aging policy and on national policies and legitimacies as well in the change of contemporary welfare states. However, it is evaluated that the 'new aging' narratives are functioning as a means of social engineering regardless of needs and interests of older people themselves. In particular, the narratives restrict socially valued definition of aging by presenting economic initiatives and normatively narrow standards, which precludes many elders in diverse condition who can not fulfill the standards. Based on the review, several suggestions are presented such as securing the labour right of the elderly based on universal social right, reflecting experiences and needs of the elderly on the formation and decision of aging policy, and pursuing alternative policy narratives on aging. The guiding narratives have a high risk to encroach social rights of the elderly as result.
