[1] A cultura da juventude foi estimulada desde os anos 60 do século XX segundo o Conselho Nacional de Ética para as Ciências da Vida 80/CNECV/2014. Parecer sobre as vulnerabilidades das pessoas idosas, em especial das que residem em instituições (julho de 2014), www.cnecv.pt
[2] Neste mesmo sentido podemos ler na Recomendação do Comité de Ministros do Conselho da Europa sobre a promoção dos direitos das pessoas idosas:
“To date no commonly agreed legal definition of older persons exists. Older persons are not a homogeneous group. The Committee of Ministers asserted in its Recommendation R (94)9 concerning elderly people that it is useless to attempt to define exactly when old age begins and that ageing is a process: being old depends on the individual´s circumstances and the environment. The Parliament Assembly noted in its Recommendation 1796 (2007) on the situation of elderly persons in Europe that a person´s age is no longer an indicator of health, wealth or social status. The World Health Organisation defined ageing as the process of progressive change in the biological, psychological and social structures of individuals”, www.coe.int/en/web/cm/document-az-index
