Abstract
Active ageing relies on an ideal where the individual human is as independent and resourceful as possible. The discourse of active ageing builds a subject position where the individual should be as active as possible while also being supported by the environment, services, and loved ones. However, there is a risk of precarity in the lack of services and support which should be considered when talking about active ageing.
