This research paper aims to understand the factors that contribute to aging in different setting as well as the use of mixed method research design. The evidence presented in the study shows that despite the barriers such as inadequate health care, social integration and employment that seniors face, the degree of perceived barriers varies depending on perception and policies in society. Concerning the limitations of the presented study, it is also essential to address the issues of ageism, the lack of community resources, and the lack of connection between generations. This work contributes to the sociology of ageing by offering a more elaborate understanding of ageing as a complex social phenomenon and policy recommendations for the government, healthcare providers, and community organizations. The following recommendations have been made in order to extend the policy of non-discrimination, combating ageism, the improvement of the economic conditions of pensioners, and granting them social assistance. When such challenges are addressed, societies shall enhance the quality of life and ensure that elders are respected in their advanced age.
