Specialized gerontological discourse may promote misinterpretations of characteristic problems of old age as to their causes and effects. Existing quantitative relations tend to camouflage chances and risks; isolated analysis of old age does not make apparent the extent to which the elderly themselves share positions which ultimately lead to their relative neglect as a group in society. Equal opportunity for women seems bound to developments towards a market organization of service supply and demand for service and support, up to now widely informal or exchanged well below market value, with women as the main service providers as well as service recipients.
专门的老年学论述可能会促使人们对老年特征问题的因果关系产生误解。现有的定量关系往往会掩盖机遇和风险；对老年的孤立分析并未表明老年人自身在多大程度上处于最终导致他们作为一个群体在社会中被相对忽视的地位。妇女的平等机会似乎与服务供需的市场组织发展相关，迄今为止，这些服务大多是非正式的，或者以远低于市场价值的方式进行交换，而妇女既是主要的服务提供者，也是服务接受者。
