| Résumé anglais |
This article aims to analyse the blend of influences which have produced the political and socio-historical notions of ‘active aging' and ‘lifelong education'. It shows how these concepts have both been made to serve a utilitarian and economics-based definition of the ideas of ‘activity' and ‘formation'. At the outset this tendency had the effect of limiting the formation of older people to ‘cultivated leisure', but more recent demographic and economic changes have led them to be targeted as a group that may be counted on in order to achieve economic competitiveness. Moving on from this perspective, the article gives an integrated and comprehensive view of these concepts as they apply to all age-groups including the retired, not separating them into water-tight compartments, e.g. time at work and time outside work, productive time and unproductive time.
