How can the concept of age-fluidity be incorporated into legislation and policy-making?

Age-fluidity is a concept that acknowledges that an individual's age is not fixed and can change over time, influenced by a range of socioeconomic and cultural factors. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that legislation and policy-making consider a diverse range of age groups and reflect the dynamic nature of age. One way to incorporate age-fluidity into legislation and policy-making is by setting up diverse age consultation groups to gather the opinions of a range of age groups, especially marginalized groups, so that policies can be created, which provide equal opportunities for all age groups. Additionally, legislators and policy-makers should take into account the need for age-friendly environments, where older individuals can live independent, healthier, and more pleasurable lives. This requires an appreciation of the lifespan and a commitment to creating environments that meet the needs of people of all ages. Finally, incorporating the concept of age-fluidity into laws, regulations, and policies will create a more inclusive, equitable, and responsive society.
