“The population is aging in many parts of the Arctic, triggering the need to better understand the social, cultural, economic and political role this segment of the population does and could play. Qualitative research is needed to investigate both the needs of

  • lder people, including their gendered dimensions, and available

capacities of regional policy-makers to respond to those needs “(AHDR- II, 2015, p.23).
